Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound butter ( 2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs separated, at room temperature
2 cups Cake flour ( Presto is one type of cake flour)
1 lemon rind from one lemon
1/2 cup milk
Confectionary Sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a Bundt Pan.

In separate bowl, Cream butter in an electric mixer, once creamed add sugar and egg yolks, beat till light and fluffy 4.Add flour and milk, starting and ending with flour , beating on low speed of mix master. Once combined add lemon rind, beat till combined 5.Fold in egg whites, once combined, place mixture in a prepared Bundt pan 6.Bake for one hour at 350 till Golden and toothpick comes out clean 7. Place on wire rack to cool, when cool invert on to cake plate, dust with confectionary sugar if desired prior to serving

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Pound cake is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile cake that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious pound cake that will be the star of your next party or gathering.
