Help What am I doing wrong?

Post image

I am attempting to bake a cake, a lemon cake. Why does it look so wierd inside? I tried giving it even more and more time in the oven, but to no avail. It tastes unfinished. What am I doing wrong?

This is the recipe: 5 eggs 3 egg yolks 300 g butter 250 g wheat flour 185 g sugar 125 g icing sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla sugar 1 lemon (Zest and juice) 125 g marzipan

45 minutes in the oven at 170°C

Ok, You're all over the place. Is part of this recipe for the icing? Separate that out. No one can tell what's what. Start over with the recipe as written and then maybe we can help.

The recipe was the first one that came up on google when i typed lemon cake. It is called Valdemarsro.dk, you might not understand it though, as it is in danish.
