TheBakingPan Recommends: The BEST instant read thermometer I’ve used for cooking and baking; the ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is incredibly fast, ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapenaccurate, and well worth the investment. I use my Thermapen Thermometer for checking room temperature ingredients, tempering chocolate, baking bread, making pastry creams, sugar syrup, caramel, and candy, cooking meats and fish, and deep frying. Thermapen Thermometer available here.
Ingredients
Batter:
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cups filberts (hazelnuts), toasted, and finely ground
Topping:
  • 1 cup whipping (heavy) cream
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners (powdered) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons rum
  • Colored sugar Easter Eggs or jelly beans(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare one 9 inch round layer cake pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening.
Batter:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar; with an electric hand mixer beat 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed until the egg yolk foam becomes thick and lemon colored and drops in ribbons when the beater is lifted. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground hazelnuts; gently stir until well mixed.
  2. In another large mixing bowl and using clean beaters, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Using a balloon type whisk or large rubber spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
  3. Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a large spoon. Bake about 35 minutes. When the sides of the cake begin to come away from the pan, turn off the oven and let cake stand 15 minutes in the warm oven.
  4. Remove from oven, then remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire cooling rack.
Topping:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and rum; beat until thick and stiff.
  2. Spread topping thickly over top of cooled cake. Decorate with colored sugar Easter eggs (optional.)
  3. Cover frosted cake and refrigerate until ready to serve. Refrigerate leftovers.

Easter Coconut Cake

April 16, 2019 By Carol Arroyo

Save Print Easter Coconut Cake A coconut custard cake all dressed for Easter. I purchased the cute Easter sprinkles at a local cake decorating shop. I made one mistake on this cake; when making the white chocolate drip I was rushed for time and simply melted the candy melts instead of making a ganache. This […]

Lemony Carrot Cake
