Lemon Flan Yellow Cake

Ok! I’m going to say it’s good, :man_shrugging: heh! I’ll take it in to have it tasted by everyone else, but at least it does have more flavor than the last one, for me.

Only two issues, baker error, or oven temperature, and I should have glazed it in the morning instead of last night. Most of the glaze melted off, :roll_eyes: .

Custard:

12 oz. Evaporated Milk
14 oz. Condensed Milk
4 eggs
4 oz. Cream Cheese
1 tsp. Vanilla

Yellow cake:

2 c. Flour
2+1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1+1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Butter
3 Eggs
1 c. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla

Lemon Glaze:

Lemon juice, pinch of salt, and enough powdered sugar mixed until a nice thick consistency. (Don’t make glazes too frequently, so don’t really follow recipes for that). I used almost two lemons, definitely only needed one, heh.

Steps:

This time, I barely mixed the sugar and butter together. Also, I had forgotten to take the butter out of the fridge, so it wasn’t at room temperature, and might have helped with the cakes fluffiness. (It’s the only thing I did differently this time, :no_mouth:). Then I mixed in the eggs, vanilla, and milk. Lastly. I added the flour, baking powder, and salt mixture, lightly stirring everything together until I saw only small lumps.

Then I blended the custard by mixing the condense milk and cream cheese by themselves (i only did it this way because I don’t have a blender. If you have one, just put everything in at the same time, heh). Then I added the rest of the ingredients. Turn the mixer on high, and sit back and rest for about a minute or less.

First, pour the cake batter into a well greased bundt pan then the custard, and bake at 350° between an hour to two hours, (groovy, I’ll need to figure out what it looks like with a toothpick test, :thinking:. I used patting the top of it, as that’s how I can tell it’s done).

Lemon and custard…has to be yummy! It looks quite moist and dense, which is how I like cakes anyway! Good job figuring out how to cook with work arounds in your new space!

alrighty, everyone likes it. So one recipe down, at least two more to go.

I got this to give the pistachio one a try, heh. Now to figure out “where” I want the pistachio’s at? The cake or the custard. And what kind of custard/cake/glaze do I want for it? :thinking:. I have bananas for one part, but maybe something else would be easier/tastier. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

I am not a fan of nut butters, but I love pistachios. May I ask where you got this?

Found it at walmart in the peanut butter aisle. They have a whole host of nut butters, and man I’d like to get the sunbutter (sunflower seed butter), but once I taste that the next blink it’s gone. O_o.

Oh wow, I have never seen pistachio butter. I need to try that!

Yeah! I don’t dare put that anywhere near my lips, heh. I bet, just like with sunbutter, it’d vanish before I sat the jar down, :grin:
