LEMON VERBENA POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES
Steps:
- Make cake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. and butter and flour a 1-quart kugelhopf pan, knocking out excess flour.
- In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, verbena (or zest), and zest. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla. Beat in half of flour mixture. Beat in milk and lemon juice and beat in remaining flour mixture until just combined.
- Spoon batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake in middle of oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a tester comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a rack 15 minutes and invert onto rack to cool completely.
- Make glaze while cake is cooling:
- In a small bowl whisk confectioners's sugar, a little at a time, into lemon juice until smooth and thick.
- When cake is completely cooled, drizzle glaze over cake and let it drip down sides. Cake may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Serve cake at room temperature with strawberries.
