How to Make Beat And Bake Madeira Cake
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes using an electric mixer).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the lemon zest and Madeira wine until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
