Swiss Zitronen Kuchen Lemon Loaf Recipes

GETRäNKTER ZITRONENCAKE (SWISS LEMON LOAF)

Steps:

• The loaf pans in Switzerland are 9-10cm in width and adaptable in length. For this recipe you need to adapt the length to 28-30cm. However, I assume that this recipe will work equally well in a slightly different size of loaf pan.
• Beat the butter.
• Add some of the sugar, then an egg. Mix until well incorporated. Carry on with the remaining sugar and eggs the same way. Always make sure that the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Add the zest of the two lemons.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Then mix into the other ingredients. Don't use an electric mixer for this.
• Generously butter your loaf pan (see point 1) and pour the batter into it.
• Bake on the middle shelf of your oven at 180°C/355°F for 60-65 minutes.
• Cool cake slightly after it has baked.
• Mix all ingredients for the glaze.
• Use a knitting needle and make plenty of wholes into the loaf and pour the glaze over the cake.

SWISS ZITRONEN KUCHEN (LEMON LOAF)

Steps:

• For the loaf: In a large bowl, whip butter.
• Stir in sugar, salt, and lemon rind. Whisk well, until batter is smooth and lighter in colour.
• Add the eggs and whisk well again.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter, and stir until well combined.
• Place the batter into a greased bread pan, and make a long cut through the center, lengthwise. If the batter is too liquidy, the slit will disappear in the oven, so if necessary add a small amount of flour. Make sure the cut is deep and not just on the surface.
• Bake 60 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, until the loaf is golden and a skewer comes out clean. Depending on your oven, you may have to put tin foil over the pan for the last 30 minutes so the top of the bread doesn't burn.
• For the drizzle: Mix together icing sugar and lemon juice.
• When the loaf is finished baking, Remove it from the pan and place it on a plate or platter.
• Take a skewer and make deep holes all over the loaf. The more holes there are, the more moist and lemony the loaf will taste. I usually do as many as possible.
• Take the drizzle and pour it all over the top of the loaf, careful to let a lot soak through the one long cut, as well as into the small holes.
