Super Soft Lemon Cake Without Butter is a very delicious cake flavored with lemon juice and zest, a simple homemade dessert that’s very well aerated and tasty!
The batter is fragrant and well-aerated especially due to the addition of egg whites and sugar almost like a meringue, making everything really well whipped and light as a cloud!
If you prefer the orange aroma, just add juice and zest of this citrus fruit, keeping the weight indicated here in the list of doses.
How to garnish the soft lemon cake?
The lemon glaze I added as a decoration is simple, and you can vary it with orange if you choose this fruit, but even a simple dusting of powdered sugar will be perfect, what do you think?
How to fill the super soft citrus cake?
I would say a perfect choice is a lemon cream but also a Italian chantilly ….
How to soak the soft lemon cake?
My super soft lemon cake is a real treat, and if you want to soak the layers before filling them, you can use a classic syrup of water and sugar, and if you want something just a bit alcoholic, I see the addition of a drop of light rum fitting well, the simple kind that most of us dessert lovers have…(I’m not sure, but I’ll try!)
IF YOU LOVE THE CITRUS AROMA, don’t miss these recipes…thanks!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE SUPER SOFT LEMON CAKE WITHOUT BUTTER RECIPE
First, separate egg whites and yolks into 2 different bowls.
Take the bowl with the egg whites and start whisking with the electric whisk, and as the mixture whitens, add half the amount of sugar.
Keep beating until you have a glossy soft meringue with high and delicate peaks.
Set aside and move on to make the rest of the super soft lemon cake batter.
In the bowl with the yolks, add the remaining sugar and whip the mixture until it becomes fluffy and lighter.
Slowly pour in the vegetable oil, water, and lemon juice with grated zest.
Mix everything well and sift the dry ingredients, meaning all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to this mix, incorporating them with the electric whisk at low speed.
To the freshly made batter, add the meringue by spoonfuls, trying not to deflate the obtained softness.
Line the base and perimeter of the pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing all the placed parchment paper.
Pour this soft batter into our pan, which we will immediately place in a preheated oven at 340°F for about 40 minutes, but as always, rely on the specific characteristics of your appliance and the famous toothpick test.
Once the butter-free lemon flavored cake is baked, let it cool, then prepare the glaze by simply mixing the ingredients vigorously.
Pour the glaze into the piping bag with a small tip (or just making a small hole in the piping bag) to draw zigzag patterns as decoration…

The soft lemon cake without butter is also perfect to be a birthday cake, maybe writing Happy Birthday on top with the glaze..
Enjoy your meal!
