Very Soft & Moist Lemon Pound Cake From Scratch
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I’m sharing how to make incredibly moist lemon pound cake from scratch. The cake is perfectly citrusy, brushed with lemon syrup, and finished with lemon icing. A must-try for the upcoming warmer season!🍋
📌 The ingredients to make lemon pound cake
[Pound Cake] for a 8” by 4” (or 1.5 QT) loaf pan
• Granulated sugar 8.5 oz | 240 g (1 1/5 US cups)
• Salt 3/4 tsp
• Lemon zest from 2 lemons
• Unsalted butter (softened) 8 oz | 226 g (2 US sticks)
• Eggs 7 oz | 200 g (4 medium eggs)
• All-purpose flour 8.5 oz | 240 g (2 US cups)
• Baking powder 1 & 1/2 tsp
• Sour cream 6 oz | 170 g (3/4 US cup)
• Honey 1 oz | 30 g (1.5 Tbsp)
• Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
• Lemon juice 1 oz | 30 g (2 Tbsp)
🔥 Bake at 325 F | 163 C for about 60 - 75 minutes.
* Adjust the time & temperature accordingly.
[Lemon Syrup]
• Water 3 oz | 85 g (1/3 US cup)
• Lemon juice 1 oz | 30 g (2 Tbsp)
• Granulated sugar 2 oz | 56 g (1/4 US cup)
[Lemon Icing]
• Powdered sugar 5 oz | 142 g (1 1/6 US cups)
• Lemon juice 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp
🔥 Bake at 325 F | 163 C for 1 minute to let the icing dry and gives it a nice crispiness.
** For best results, measure ingredients with a scale. All recipes are designed with weighed ingredients using grams/ounces. Cup measurements are provided for your convenience. **

Oh she is precious if she thinks that cake would last more than 24 hours in the average home! You can snack on that cake, have a slice with breakfast, enjoy it @ lunch, and finally treat yourself to a slice w/some vanilla bean ice cream after dinner. So many options!🍋I really love that she had her cake w/lemon tea. Very classy!

Have you tried this cake recipe? Have you made it? She puts 8.5 oz for the flour but she puts 2 US cups next to it? But cups are 8 oz each so I am confused, what measurements did you use?

@@theogrelord4036a cup of flour doesn't weigh 8 ounces. It's more like 5. Liquids and solids are 8 ounces. It took me a while to figure this out too :). I'd weigh at this stage in baking rather than measure. That took me some time to figure out weighing was much more better too :).
I lost my mother's pound cake recipe. You have the exact recipe she had. I have made this so many times. It's wonderful. My aunt made wedding cakes and she used the same recipe minus the glaze. The more air you incorporate the lighter the cake.

I’ve tried many many lemon pound cake recipes and they always seem to fall short of BEING really lemony! Seriously, i could bathe in lemon baked goods just as long as they pack the punch and actually deliver that bright, tart, sweet, diehard lemon total flavour. Since you’ve tried your hand at this one, does it drown in lemon flavour? Or just give its essence? I’ll be beyond grateful to know 🙏🏼

@simplybleu
Ай бұрын
@@beargrylls6135 makes perfect sense. On another note but speaking of zest. Have you ever taken ANY citrus fruit, saved the peels, scraped out the pith, dried them completely hard and then pulverized them? Ya wanna talk about flavour enhancement!? OMG. Soooo much More flavourful than dried peels that one can use in a pinch. This stuff REALLY packs a flavour punch and comes in sooo handy when ya haven’t got fresh immediately on hand. I’ve been working towards freezing the juice in trays and bagging and then drying the peels when you find them on sale but could never use them all up before they spoil. Try It! Crazy amazing
🍋 Absolutely delicious Thanks for sharing.
Most of the time we make a chocolate cake or brownie at home and never actually tried something different that can be so delicious, i always had lemon cakes mostly at airports but never thought of baking one ever, but ur recipe nailed it 👌
This is such a perfect lemon cake! I’ve tried so many other recipes but this is the one I’ll always use (and share with friends and family). Thank you 😊 🍋💛

Agreed! I particularly appreciate Knowing why I’m doing something when baking as the methods require more precision than cooking. Knowing the science helps with troubleshooting culinary hiccups to absolve failures. It also helps when wanting (or needing) to adapt an existing recipe or even eventually trying your hand at recipe creation.

Just put this in the oven and am so excited! I'm not a huge cake person (most I try are too dry) but Love lemon loafs. This was super easy to make and produced some of the best tasting batter I've ever tried haha. I don't have any powdered sugar to make the icing but I think even with the syrup it'll be delicious :) Will come back once it's done, so far I enjoyed making this. Edit: Yeah it was delicious LMAO Only thing is that mine didn't rise as much and I'm wondering if I just didn't whip it long enough but my arms were tired so I gave up. Either way it tastes great haha

Aya, you’re truly talented!!

I made this today and omg was it delicious. It turned out so yummy, I made half of the recipe and I added orange zest and juice along with the lemon it came out perfect, the only thing i would change is the loaf pan i used, it was a non stick and i think with another like the one you used it would have risen higher. regardless it came out sooooo soft like it melted in my mouth before i could chew it and the syrup really made the citrus pop. Definetly going to follow more recipes from you .
