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

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!

@theogrelord4036 5 месяцев назад

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?

@melissagreen9093 5 месяцев назад

That’s a typo. It should be 8.0 not 8.5oz cups. Two full cups. I haven’t baked this yet but the recipe is legit. Try it and see.🤗

@allysonstuhlmiller6295 Месяц назад

@@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.

@Obsidian_Iris_ 6 месяцев назад

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

@vicb5098 Год назад

@@CurvyGirlsareChic Hi there-while sifting flour lightens it, when flour is beaten with a mixer into the butter/eggs wet mixture, the gluten elasticizes (for lack of a better word), making the finished cake tough, and dry, I found. Took me 50 years to know this. Kind of slow here, LOL

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 .

@PastryLivingwithAya Год назад

I'm SO glad to hear that!! I love that orange twist😊 And great tip about the pan, I agree that non-stick pan would be the best choice to keep the height high. Thank you for sharing the experience!❤️
