LEMON STREUSEL CAKE



Lemon Streusel Cake image

Whenever friends compliment me on my zesty cake, I say, "Thanks Mom!" Her recipe for Lemon Streusel Cake was among dozens I took with me when I turned 21 and left home. When I was growing up, we had five kinds of fruit trees plus a big garden in our yard. Many times during the summer, I'd be so full from snacking on the "crops" that I'd have trouble finishing supper! Today, I'm a nurse in a large hospital-but my husband and I look forward someday to living in the country.

3/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup crushed lemon wafers (30 wafers, crumbled in a food processor)*

1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut in cubes
For the cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Meyer lemon zest

1 cup sour cream
2 cups lemon curd

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch angel food cake pan. Make the streusel by combining the almond meal, crushed lemon wafers, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl.
