LEMON POUNDCAKE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 9 x 13" cake pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Wash the outside of your lemon and pat dry. Cut in half and juice the lemon, reserving the liquid to use later. Pick out the seeds and cut each half into four pieces.
- Put these 8 pieces along with the raisins and the pecans into a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. That's right, you're using the entire lemon in this cake. Set this mixture aside.
- In your electric mixer bowl, add one cup of flour, the salt, baking soda, and sugar. Mix them on LOW for about 30 seconds.
- Add the second cup of flour and mix on LOW for about 30 seconds.
- Add the softened butter, the lemon extract and 3/4 cup of milk. Beat on LOW until the flour is well moistened. Then turn the mixer up to MEDIUM-HIGH and beat for 2 minutes.
- Shut off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the mixer on LOW and add the eggs, one at a time, beating continuously. Now add the last of the milk.
- Once everything is incorporated, turn the mixer up to MEDIUM-HIGH and beat for 2 minutes. Turn off the mixer, remove the bowl and scrape down the sides.
- Gradually add the ground lemon, raisin and pecan mixture, folding it in gently so you don't deflate all that lovely air you just beat into the mixture.
- Pour into your prepared pan and smooth out as evenly as possible. This batter is a bit stiff.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack.
- While the cake is still warm, drizzle 1/3 cup of the fresh lemon juice over the surface of the cake. It will instantly be absorbed.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until well mixed. Sprinkle this cinnamon/sugar mixture over the still warm cake.
- Optional: Sprinkle 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans on top of the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Let your cake cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. This will keep your cake nice and moist.
- You can serve the cake right out of the fridge or let it come to room temperature.
- It also freezes well if you wrap it in plastic wrap, then foil, and place the whole thing in a sealable freezer bag.

Steps:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
- Grease (or spray) and flour 10-inch bundt or tube pan. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time beating well after each addition. Sift together dry ingredients. Add all at once to butter mixture. Blend just until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon rind, and poppy seeds. Blend just until smooth. Bake for approximately 1 hour. Let cool in pan before removing.
Tips:
- For a richer, more flavorful cake, use high-quality butter and eggs.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually, until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Lemon pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a lemon pound cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
