welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen today
i had a plan and i got out all of the
ingredients for my plan and i was going
to make
a lemon yogurt cake
um had the lemons out got ready
and then i remembered
a little while ago we did a
lemon poppy seed cake for two
and in that instance
at the last minute as i was cooking it
here i thought you know what what if i
put instead of vanilla what if i put
limoncello
in the mix and so i did that and i think
the results were pretty good so
i got going on this today and i came out
here and i realized what if i
ditched the lemon in my lemon yogurt
cake
and went lime
and instead of using our homemade
limoncello
i use this patron citroen
lime liqueur
now
this lime liqueur is
um
made the same way that you make
limoncello
uh what they do so that's flour i took
baking powder and baking soda mixed it
in with the flour and this is some
butter
i've partially melted the butter
in order to make
limoncello you take
lemon
peel zest
and you let it steep in a neutral grain
spirit a high alcohol neutral grain
spirit so that's what's going on here
this is our next batch
and you get this you get this liquid
that is
so incredibly lemony
then because this is about 150 proof
you cut it down with sugar and water
sugar water in order to make the liqueur
and you cut it down to an alcohol volume
by volume that you like
could be 40 alcohol by volume it could
be you know as low as 20 or 15 percent
if you're just looking for flavor and
sweetness you go a little bit lower if
you're looking for some of that alcohol
kick you leave it a little bit higher
what patron has done with this
is essentially make a limoncello
except no lemon
it's lime
and not neutral grain spirit
it's tequila and
i really like the flavor of this in
cocktails
i don't use it much in the cocktails
after dark show because
quite frankly the cocktails after dark
show is all about
stuff from the 1950s or earlier and this
didn't exist yet so i don't get to use
it that often
whip together the sugar and the butter
i've got one egg and that's going to go
in and get whipped in
okay
egg whips in pretty quickly
there we go
and i'm going to zest in a little bit of
the lime
not too much i'm trying not to overdo it
i am baking without a net i have never
done this flavor combination this way
before i've never put these ingredients
together this way i'm pretty sure it'll
work it works with lemon why wouldn't it
work with lime so
i cut the lime in half
and
squeeze in
about that much
and we'll mix that in
next i need yogurt and i've got plain
balkan style yogurt here
just as easily it could just as easily
be sour cream
sour cream would work just as well
interchangeable
and i'm going to put in
that much
and we just whip that together
there you go
and a little bit of the citrogen
let's
see
about a tablespoon
and now the flour and the other mixture
oh
pinch of salt
let's get a pinch of salt in there
and the flour a little bit of time don't
don't dump it in all at once
okay so the oven is preheated to 325
degrees i have a small cake pan that i
have buttered and put a little piece of
parchment in the bottom
and i'm just going to transfer this over
these cakes take
in my oven anyway um at 3 25 they take
anywhere between
25 and 35 minutes um every oven is going
to be a little bit different
so i get this batter in here
and into the oven
there you go
let's see
that's pretty good it's pretty good
we'll see how it bakes out i think i
could have put more zest
in bumped up that lime flavor a little
bit more
hey glenn hey jules hey friends oh
another boozy cake for two another kick
for two so
this is
a mystery
okay
i am
looks like a white cake i set out to
make a lemon yogurt cake
and then i and then i i got everything
out
and i remembered the lemon poppy seed
cake that i made with this with the with
the lemon
i thought oh well i'll put some
limoncello in it because that really
bumped up the flavor and then i thought
wait a second
what is a large liquor collection yeah
what if i take the lemon out and put in
lime and use the patron citroen which
has a really nice
lime tequila flavor it's a lot of
talking and no tasting so far let's get
in let's get in
now
um i'm assuming the yogurt will keep it
nice and uh
very moist
subtle
the lime in this is much more subtle
than the lemon cake the lemon cake was
this is a lemon cake this is this is
lovely well there's there's something
there what is that oh that's this is
lovely it's lime and tequila
it is quite lovely isn't it
now
i didn't measure the yogurt i just
scooped some yogurt in i might have over
scooped by a smidge
but
it's still really good so the texture
the texture might have suffered a little
bit because i didn't measure measure at
home it's always a good idea
but as you can see it's not affecting
our enjoyment of the cake
it's fun because the flavor is so subtle
i feel like it's oh a little it would
match with like a little
what i could match it with you can now
blend it with something else where the
lemon cake was all lemon that's it there
was no choice in in partnering with
anything
you could partner this with some other
type of flavor i can't quite figure out
what it should be though i'm almost okay
so i'm
this might be right off the deep end
really but as please go there as i'm
tasting i'm a lifeguard as i'm tasting
it
just the tiniest little bit
of shredded jalapeno
interesting interesting because i was
thinking more of a rose flavor
huh i know completely different i'm not
really sure okay so
just because it's out there i'm going to
remake this cake you'll see it in a
couple of weeks with some jalapeno with
some jalapeno shredded into it just a
tiny little bit
okay i'm in i mean clearly this cake
isn't gonna last long it's only for two
and it's already we already ate that
piece so
if i stop talking i'll keep eating
but this is the end of the video so
thanks for stopping by see you again
soon
you
