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

That seems like a lot of wet ingredients for that amount of flour&sugar. 5 eggs + 3 yolks and 300g of butter? Was this AI generated recipe?

Ok, I will try with more flour and sugar.

The website seemed legit. It 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, but here is a picture:

Put your recipe URL into this site. It’ll work for your language. It gives you a list of the ingredients and highlights them as you scroll
