LEMON & BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE



Lemon & buttermilk pound cake image

This buttermilk pound cake has a dense, moist crumb and bags of lemon flavour to cut through the richness. Make it for afternoon tea or for a summer picnic

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

125g butter, plus extra for the tin
200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
¼ tsp baking powder
200g golden caster sugar
4 lemons, finely zested (save a little for the top if you like)
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
100ml buttermilk, at room temperature
½ lemon, juiced
50g granulated sugar
2 large lemons, juiced (use the lemons you've zested)
150g icing sugar, sifted
2-3 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and flour a loaf tin measuring 22 x 11 x 7cm. Sift the flour with a pinch of salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the lemon zest. Gradually add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix the buttermilk with the lemon juice. Fold the flour mixture into the batter, alternating with the buttermilk and lemon mixture.
  • Scrape the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 40-45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to sit for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire cooling rack with a tray underneath it. Set the cake the right way up.
  • To make the syrup, put the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Pierce the cake all over with a skewer then, while the cake is still warm, pour the syrup over slowly. Leave to cool.
  • Gradually add the lemon juice to the icing sugar and mix until just smooth. If runny, put in the fridge for about 10 mins - you don't want it to set, you just want it become a little firmer. Pour or spread the icing over the cake (the bits that drizzle down the side will be caught by the tray under the cooling rack). This icing won't set hard, but do leave it to set a little before serving.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake is the perfect treat for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful golden crust. The lemon glaze adds a bright and tangy flavor that complements the cake perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
