Ingredients

  • cups granulated sugar
  • 2 medium lemons zested
  • cups cake flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt sea or Himalayan
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Use your fingers to massage the sugar and zest together until it resembles coarse wet sand.
  • In a large mixing bowl, measure and add flour, lemon sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Use a pastry cutter (or a couple of knives or a fork will do) and cut the butter into the flour. Keep going until the butter is no longer detectable in the dry ingredients and it’s a super fine crumb.
  • Store this cake mix in a air-tight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • If refrigerated, remove and let come up to room temperature for about 30 mintues before using.
