Makes ten 480 g cakes.

CHEF'S TIP: The sugar must be completely dissolved in the mixture before adding the flours.

 

## Lemon cake

INGREDIENTS:  
1475 g sugar  
10 yellow lemons  
625 g mascarpone  
1 g salt  
1050 g whole eggs  
565 g T45 flour  
565 g T55 flour  
40 g baking powder  
135 g rum  
420 g butter  
Softened butter as required

METHOD:  
Mix the sugar and lemon zest. Place the mixture in the bowl of a beater fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the mascarpone and salt and mix.  
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Heat to 30°C using a bain-marie.  
Add to the previous mixture on the third speed.  
Add in the flour and baking powder, previously sifted. Add the rum. Remove a quarter of the mixture and add the butter, previously heated to 50°C. Stir into the remaining mixture. Mix.  
The mixture should be smooth.  
Place around 480 g of dough in each buttered and floured cake mold (dimensions: 16 cm long x 8 cm wide x 7 cm high).  
Pipe a line of softened butter lengthwise down the center of each cake.  
Bake for around 20 minutes in a convection oven at 160°C. Score the cake lengthways to allow it to expand. Bake again for 20-25 minutes in a convection oven at 160°C.  
Leave to cool at room temperature for around 10 minutes.  
Unmold. Refrigerate.
