Lemon cake

 
I really don`t know why this cake is called 'lemon cake'. It`s not entirely of lemon, but it`s a recipe that I have from my grandmother, and it`s called like this since she was a child. So, I won`t change its name. Here is the recipe.





For the cake sheets, you need:
- 400 gr flour
- 100 gr butter
- 3 spoon sugar
- 5 spoons milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ammonia

You mix all these ingredients very well and then split them into 4 pieces. From these 4 pieces, you will bake 4 cake sheets. (If you click through cake sheets, you will find out how to make them ).
Don`t worry if the cake sheets tend to get upwards, just push them down with the cream, and they will be just fine.

For the cream you need:

- 200 gr sugar
- 3 spoons flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 lemon
- 500 ml milk
- 1 butter

   Mix the sugar with the flour, then add the eggs. Peel off a lemon and put the lemon zest and mix it with the composition you just made. Warm up the milk very well, almost boil it. Pour the milk in thin stripes over the composition, and cook it until the cream is stiff. 

Then add the lemon juice. Once it`s cooled, add the butter and mix it very well. Now, your lemon cream is done.

Finally, you will have a  cake with 4 layers, with lemon cream between the cake sheets. You can slice it as you like, rectangular or square. 

If you want, on the top of the cake you can scrape some chocolate. It looks good, doesn`t it? Enjoy :)
