LEMON PUDDING POUND CAKE



Lemon Pudding Pound Cake image

I love my Aunt TC's Lemon-Lime Soda Cake, so I thought it would be fun to make my own pound cake to share with her. Instant lemon pudding mix is the key to making this pound cake extra moist, and the lemon drizzle on top adds another layer of citrusy goodness.

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour
One 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more as needed
Juice of 1 small lemon (1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter, oil and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the yellow disappears after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice just until combined.
  • Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk in 3 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with only a couple of moist crumbs, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake and invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until thick. (If it's too runny, add a little more confectioners' sugar.) After the cake is cooled, pour the lemon drizzle over the top.

MEYER LEMON POUND CAKE



Meyer Lemon Pound Cake image

A crack or crevice along the top of a pound cake is a good thing-especially when it's filled with a sweet Meyer lemon glaze.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

Zest of 1 Meyer lemon
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
4 cups sifted cake flour, plus more for pans
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 3/4 cups sugar
8 eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 Meyer lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour two 9-by-5-by-3-inch (or larger) loaf pans and set aside.
  • Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder two times and set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla. Stir only until thoroughly blended. Gently fold in the zest.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pans, making sure to divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Level tops with an offset spatula. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan about 10 minutes; then remove to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
  • Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk all glaze ingredients to combine. If necessary, add additional confectioners' sugar to desired consistency.
  • Pour glaze on top of cakes and serve.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for a sturdier bread pudding. Fresh bread will absorb too much liquid and become mushy.
  • If you don't have any day-old bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven to dry it out slightly.
  • Use a variety of breads for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of white, wheat, and rye bread.
  • Soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the flavor of the custard and become tender.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. This will also help the bread pudding to cook evenly.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Lemon pound cake bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and it is also a budget-friendly dessert. With its moist and flavorful texture and its sweet and tangy lemon flavor, lemon pound cake bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
