Magic Purple Cake Recipe Tips:
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and the milk is lukewarm.
- For the best purple color, use gel food paste coloring, a little goes a long way. For a more pronounced purple shade, use more gel, for a lighter color use less.
- Same with the lavender extract, if you are a huge fan of the flavor add a bit more 2-3 teaspoons if you want a milder flavor, 1 1/2 teaspoons are enough.
- Also, if you want the top layer to be more visible, don’t fold in the egg whites completely. Make sure you still have some of the white bits in it.
- In addition, don’t skip the lemon zest. It will make the cake flavors pop and add so much citrusy freshness.
- The food coloring is obviously optional and it can be entirely skipped, it is up to you to use it or not.
- Bake the cake until the top is golden brown, let it settle and cool completely before slicing.
- I love serving it with whipped cream and fresh berries!
How to make lemon zest?
Follow these easy steps below:
- First, rinse the lemon.
- Next, set your tool over a cutting board. A Microplane produces a very fine zest, perfect for baking and cooking. If you don’t have a microplane, use the smallest holes on an ordinary grater.
- Then, grate the yellow skin of the lemon only. Grate just enough to get through the yellow skin, this way you can avoid the bitter white pith underneath.
- Rotate the lemon and repeat. Once the white pith is exposed, rotate the lemon and zest the next strip of peel. Repeat until most of the peel is removed, or until you have enough zest for your recipe.
Can you use lemon juice instead of lemon zest?
Yes! Lemon zest adds citrus flavor to your recipes, including desserts, main dishes, and more. If you don’t have a lemon and a zester handy, you can use regular store-bought lemon juice. 1 medium-size lemon = approximately 1 tablespoon of lemon zest = 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
