So Delicious Lemon Fondant Cake

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), preferably with a fan setting.

2. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan.

3. In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the eggs with the sugar until light and slightly frothy.

4. Add the flour and baking powder, then incorporate the melted butter, mascarpone, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan (greased and floured if needed).

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cake is set and lightly golden.

While the cake is baking:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and grated lemon zest.

2. Heat until it forms a light syrup (the sugar should dissolve completely).

Finishing:

1. Once the cake has cooled, brush the top with the syrup using a pastry brush.

2. Allow to cool completely.

3. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares to serve.
