A very special thank you to my good friends at Hamilton Beach for providing my family with the Stand Mixer and 6 Speed Hand Mixer with Pulse and Snap On Case. This is just one of the recipes I made and I know there will be many more to come. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
A stand mixer has been on my wish list for…well…pretty much forever. So when Hamilton Beach sent me an email saying they were sending me one, I was pretty much over the moon. With the same mixing action as KitchenAid® stand mixers and a powerful 300 Watt motor, the Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer is perfect for people like me who love to bake and want to make their baking process a little easier. The 3 attachments (dough hook, whisk, and flat beater) on the Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer offer maximum hands free mixing versatility, while the nonslip feet and splatter shield make sure that I don’t make a mess of my kitchen. And with 7 speeds, there’s no end to what you can make.
I had so many plans for my mixer when it arrived in early December. So many. Plans to cook, plans to bake, plans to make all those recipes I’d put off because I didn’t have a stand mixer. And then the craziness of the holidays arrived. Needless to say, I didn’t get to those plans and the stand mixer sat on my countertop.
Until about a week ago a friend of mine asked me if I made the Lemon Cream Cake recipe she gave me earlier in the year. It happened to be one of the recipes I’d put off during the holiday season. It also happened to be one of the recipes I’d avoided because I didn’t have a stand mixer. With the holidays over and a little extra time in my schedule, I decided that it was time to break in that new Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer and the 6 Speed Hand Mixer with Snap On Case that I received over the holidays. Because as delicious as the Lemon Cream Cake recipe sounded, it was definitely going to require some mixing.
The thing that surprised me about this recipe was how easily it came together. Yes, there are several steps to this recipe, and yes, there are quite a few ingredients, but with my Hamilton Beach mixers, I was able to have everything whipped up in no time. And when I was done, I was able to put the metal mixing bowl on the stand mixer right in the dishwasher and store the attachments of the 6 Speed Mixer right in the snap on case it came with.
And the cake? Every bit as delicious as my friend said it was going to be. Every. Single. Bit. It’s cool and light, while still having a dense, rich creamy center. But it’s the lemon flavored crumb topping that really makes this cake. Don’t be scared off by the number of steps or ingredients in this recipe – this is a must try! Here’s how you can make it, and maybe win some Hamilton Beach goodies for yourself…
You will need:
1 pkg White cake mix, plus ingredients required on the box
1/2 cup Sour cream
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3 Tbsp Lemon juice (not from concentrate)
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
8 oz Mascarpone cheese
1 cup Powdered Sugar
4 Tbsp Butter, melted
1 cup Lemon cake mix
Step 1 – Preheat oven as directed on the box of white cake mix and grease the bottom and sides of 2 9-inch pans (or one 10-inch spring pan). Prepare white cake according to the directions on the box and add sour cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds and then medium-high for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the greased pans and bake for 26-30 minutes.
Step 2 – To make the lemon cream filling, place the mascapone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy whipping cream in the bowl of the stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, beat until smooth and creamy. For me, this took about 2-3 minutes on “6” on my Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer.
Step 3 – Once cake is cooled completely, cut the top of one of the 9-inch cakes (or cut the 10-inch cake in half, through the middle), so you have a flat surface. Generously spoon the lemon filling on top of the cake and spread until smooth and even with a spatula. Place the second layer on top of the cake and lightly frost the outside with the left over filling.
Step 4 – Combined the lemon cake mix and melted butter until crumbly. You can do this using the hand mixer on low speed or by hand, but I highly recommend the hand mixer. It makes this part so much easier. Sprinkle on the top and sides of the cake, pressing gently against the cake.
Slice and enjoy!
