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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus additional for greasing pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for pan
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light. Add the lemon zest, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream, mixing just to combine. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Place on a rack.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a bowl and gradually whisk in the lemon juice. Brush some of the mixture over the top of the cake. Let stand for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out of the pan and brush the cake top, sides and bottom well with the lemon mixture. Repeat after 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- PERFECT LEMON COOKIE



Easy Cake Mix Cookies- Perfect Lemon Cookie image

I frequently make these cookies for work pitch-ins & family get-togethers. They are always a big hit! I was given the basic recipe several years ago by a lady who showed up at my garage sale-and she wrote it down during our conversation about baking. I have perfected different varieties over the years. Please see my other recipes for how to make the following versions of this cookie: chocolate-chocolate chip, chocolate chip, & sugar cookies. This is a really versatile recipe base-experiment!!

Time 13m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 ounce) box lemon supreme cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended (best to do right before you are ready to bake them- they flatten out more if you let the batter set).
  • Spoon onto 2 un-greased cookie sheets (allow some space in between, they spread...a melon baller works great for this step).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes (depends on which cake mix you use & the oven -- I start looking at them through the glass around 6.5 minutes -- they will get a dull/cracked appearance on top when done).
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan, or wait 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Cookies will be soft/chewy.
  • While lemon cookies are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar & lemon juice in a small bowl, add more powdered sugar for a stiffer glaze. Lightly brush or drizzle glaze onto warm cookies on the cooling rack.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting them.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cookies with lemon zest, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
