Categories     Cakes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 frozen (10 oz) pound cake, preferrably whole-butter
1 stick (8 t.) butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Remove partially thawed pound cake from its container and slice the cake horizontally to create three layers.
  • 2. With an electirc mixer, combine the butter, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until creamy and well blended.
  • 3. Dip a pastry brush in the lemon juice and shake to sprinkle the cake layers with the remaining 2 T. lemon juice. Spread butter cream mixture on each layer and the top and sides of cake. Reform cake on serving platter.
  • 4. Refrigerate at least 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
  • 5. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This easy lemon pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and bright lemon flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
