Lemon Pound Cake - Fresh Lemon an Easy One Bowl Recipe!


	Lemon Pound Cake This lemon pound cake recipe is one of those easy cake recipes made in one bowl. The key to baking Italian cakes is fresh fresh fresh everything! And that is the big secret for any Italian dessert recipes - always use fresh produce if called for, and fresh nuts. So, yes YOU must use a REAL lemon in this recipe! No bottled lemon allowed. The top of this pound cake comes out with a nice crystallized crunch and the inside isn't dense and choking thick. It's is moist, not quite as airy as a layer cake. Although I didn't shoot a photo of it - we pour fresh lemon sauce on top and garnish with blue berries. If you want to make the lemon sauce - click here for the lemon sauce recipe. I don't know what you would want to substitute. This is very basic. And the main flavoring is from the fresh lemons. There are a few questions I answered about this recipe - listed below. Lemon Pound Cake YIELD:5x9x3-inch loaf pan (this needs a small loaf pan) Ingredients: * 6 tablespoons butter * 2/3 cup granulated sugar * 4 egg yolks * 1 1/4 cups flour * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder * 1/8 teaspoon salt * 1/3 cup milk * 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel * 2 teaspoons lemon juice * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Procedure * Heat oven to 350°. * Butter and flour a 5x9x3-inch loaf pan. * In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with sugar until light and fluffy. * Separate the mixture to the side of the bowl, leaving an opening in the middle. * Add the egg yolks and beat just the yolks until light and lemon colored. * Work the yolks into the creamed mixture. * Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. * Gradually add flour mixture to the first mixture, alternating with the milk. * Beat well. * Blend in the lemon zest and juice and the extract. * Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan. * Bake about 45 to 50 minutes. (Make sure and check at 40 mins just in case!) * Cool in pan on rack for about 45 minutes. * Remove from pan and cool thoroughly. * Pour lemon sauce on top. Can I use the lemon in a bottle? Nope! This cake LEMON pound cake. And to get that lemon flavor everything is centered around fresh lemons. You will use the several whole lemons between the lemon sauce recipe and this cake recipe. ( Well, you don't use the rind!). What milk products can be used other than "milk"? I've actually made this with Half & Half. Too, I think buttermilk would be a great substitute if you have it on hand. I wouldn't rush out to get either of them, as the milk is just fine. Almond flavoring instead of vanilla? We do use almonds OFTEN in Italian dessert recipes. And the thought crossed my mind. The only reason I hesitate from the green go light - I haven't tried it. I'm afraid it would over power the fresh lemon, which is the key reason for the cake! Back to the top of the lemon pound cake.
