GLAZED LEMON POUND CAKE LOAF #DESSERT #FRUIT
My go-to lemon portion formula for a considerable length of time! This scrumptious Glazed Lemon Pound Cake Loaf is in every case splendidly damp and lemony!
I have been making this equivalent lemon portion for a considerable length of time. It's my "go to" when just lemon portion will do. The way that I've never presented it on this point is essentially my conviction that perhaps the web didn't generally require another lemon portion formula. Be that as it may, what the hell. It's great, it's attempted and tried (many, ordinarily!) and for any individual who still can't seem to discover their "go to" lemon portion, it's unquestionably deserving of thought.
I guess lemon portion is to some degree abstract. What makes this portion a champ for me is the flawless surface (not very light, not very thick), the ideal degree of sogginess (not very sleek, never dry) and simply the appropriate measure of lemon. With this one, the hit of lemon really comes more from the coating than the cake, however there is clearly some lemon in the cake. In any case, it's in the lemon coat that the ideal parity is struck, so unquestionably don't avoid that.
The last point I cherish about this portion, is that it needs just 1 huge lemon and basically run of the mill wash room and ice chest things to make it. That implies I'm constantly loaded to make this one, which has proved to be useful commonly when I required a bit of something extraordinary to share or blessing.
Ingredients :
Loaf:
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 Tbsp lemon zest from about 1 large lemon
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup sour cream removed from fridge 15 minutes before using
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup icing/confectioners' sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice plus more, as needed
Instructions :
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper that covers the bottom and long sides, with an inch or so extending past the top of the pan (these will be the "handles" to lift the loaf out of the pan).
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar until light coloured and fluffy. (Don't skimp on this process. It should beat about 3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time and beat in well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together well the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. With mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, starting with 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 of the sour cream, 1/3 of the flour, last of the sour cream, then finally the last of the flour.
- Scrape into prepared 8x4-inch loaf pan and level batter. Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife along the short ends and use the parchment paper edges to lift and remove from pan. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
- While loaf is still a little warm, prepare the glaze, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable glaze. Place a baking tray under the cooling rack to catch any drips and spoon glaze slowly over top of loaf, allowing it to drip down the sides a bit. Cool completely, then slice and enjoy.
