LEMON CREAM POUND CAKE



Lemon cream pound cake image

This moist, tender and buttery pound cake will have you eating more than one slice!

Provided by Angela Chu

Categories     Loaves

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1½ cups cake flour
¾ tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
½ cup softened butter (substitute 1 tbsp of butter for oil if you'd like)
1 scant cup sugar
¼-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
Zest and juice of ½-1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9x5 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium sized bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar (and oil, if using) for 4-5 minutes until the mixture has lightened up in color. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is smooth and shiny, making sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl as necessary.
  • Add in the lemon zest and juice and the vanilla, then slowly drizzle in the heavy cream and mix until smooth and satiny.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and gently fold the two mixtures together using a spatula. Make sure to not over mix the batter; it is okay to have some lumps and some small dry patches. Transfer this batter into the prepared baking tin and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or until the cake springs back to the touch.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to cool on a wire rack until the cake is room temperature (if you can wait that long). At this point, slice it up, add some whipped cream and berries, enjoy it with an extra pat of butter or serve it plain in all it's delicious glory!

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.

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Categories     Cakes and Cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 sticks (339 g) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups (600 g) sugar
5 large eggs, room temperature (you can warm them in a bowl of warm water if you are in a hurry)
3 cups (342 g) cake flour (not self rising)
1/2 teaspoon (2 g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 2 Lemons (approximately 2 Tablespoons)
2 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Extract (10g)- We used McCormick- See Notes Below
3 Tablespoons (42g) Lemon Juice
1 cup (232 g) heavy whipping cream (do not whip)
1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice (You can use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon lemon extract if you would rather- adjust amount to your liking)
Milk (optional) if needed to thin the consistency a bit.
We topped our lemon glaze with lemon zest

Steps:

  • Grease and flour a tube pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  • In a separate bowl whisk the cake flour, salt, and baking powder for 30 seconds to combine. Set aside for later.
  • Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until lighten in color and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until the yellow of the yolk blends in.
  • Add the whipping cream, lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest to a measuring cup or bowl.
  • Add the flour mixture alternately with the whipping cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. We do three additions of the flour mixture and two of the whipping cream mixture.
  • Pour or spoon the batter into a prepared tube pan.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs attached.) Baking times can vary and so peek in as it approaches the 1 hour mark. If the top of the cake begins to get too dark, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of batter.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning out onto serving plate.
  • Combine sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and stir until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the pound cake. (I spooned mine into a piping bag with the tip snipped away for more control.) Sprinkle lemon zest over the top.

AUNT RUTH'S SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE



Aunt Ruth's Sour Cream Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze image

This pound cake with lemon glaze came from my great aunt's collection. Her secret was doubling the amount of sour cream. I have used this cake as a basis for creating other pound cakes.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature ingredients, except for the butter (which should be cold) and the eggs (which should be at room temperature). This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and result in a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it. This will help ensure that the flour is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (163 degrees C) for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
