LEMON POUNDCAKE



Lemon Poundcake image

A good lemon dessert is a foolproof crowd-pleaser, and this delightfully easy sour cream poundcake is no exception. The inside of the cake is sweet and tender, laced with a subtle lemon flavor throughout, while the outer part of the cake, brushed with a simple lemon juice-confectioners' sugar glaze, is distinctly tart and slightly crunchy. The two together is a sort of perfection.

Tips:

  • Before you start baking, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help ensure that your cake rises evenly and has a smooth texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, which will make your cake lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time. This will help prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help remove any lumps and ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

With its moist texture, zesty lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, this Lemon Delight Pound Cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. It is the perfect dessert for any occasion, from potlucks to birthday parties. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
