Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup aquavit
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Line pan with parchment paper. Butter paper and dust with flour.
  • Using electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter in large bowl until light. Gradually add sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition until just combined. Beat in aquavit, caraway, vanilla extract and lemon peel. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Sift dry ingredients over batter. Blend well, using rubber spatula.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until deep-golden-brown crust forms and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool 10 minutes. Turn out cake onto rack, remove parchment paper and cool completely. Wrap tightly in foil and let stand at room temperature overnight. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Store at room temperature.)

I would definitely make this cake again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar by half.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the flavor is still good.

The lemon glaze on top is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a bit of sweetness and tartness that balances out the richness of the cake.
