LEMON VELVET CAKE.
******************
2 1/4 cups cake flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 tsp freshly grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp freshly grated orange rind
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 Cup orange juice
confectioners sugar for dusting.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9"x13"x2" cake pan. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Cream butter in large bowl of an electric mixer. Add lemon and orange rind. Cream until smooth and light - about 2 minutes. Slowly add sugar, blending well and scraping sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time.
In a small bowl, combine water, lemon and orange juices. Add the dry ingredients alternating with the liquids. Mix until smooth. Spoon into prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until golden on top and springy to the touch. Remove from oven, cool on cake rack and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving. A thin lemon glaze also works well.
