Eierkoeken Eggcakes
Fluffy, light, and delightfully golden, Eierkoeken Eggcakes are a classic Dutch treat that will brighten up any snack or tea time. These pillowy discs are made with simple pantry staples like eggs, sugar, and flour, but it's the addition of aromatic vanilla extract and zesty lemon peel that give them their distinctively fresh flavor. Perfectly baked in just 10 minutes, their airy structure comes from carefully folding the ingredients to create a soft, cloud-like texture. Enjoy them straight from the oven for a warm, melt-in-your-mouth experience, or serve them cooled with a dollop of butter or jam for an irresistible combination. Whether you call them egg cakes or eierkoeken, these treats are a true delight! Keywords: Dutch eierkoeken, fluffy egg cakes, easy baking recipes, lemon and vanilla treats.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest to the egg mixture. Mix gently to incorporate.
In a separate smaller bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg mixture using a spatula. Make slow, circular motions to maintain the light, airy texture. Do not overmix.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, place 8 equally spaced dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Each dollop should be about 2 tablespoons of batter and roughly circular in shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the eierkoeken have a light golden color and spring back when gently touched.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your eierkoeken plain, or with a light spread of butter or jam!
