LEMON POPPY SEED POUNDCAKE



Lemon Poppy Seed Poundcake image

This lemon poppy seed poundcake is summery and quick to make, and perfect for a picnic. One tip: cut up the poundcake before the picnic but leave it in the baking pan. It makes it easier to transport, and the pan protects it, too. Then serve it on its own, with ripe berries, and let the ants enjoy the crumbs.

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 ounce) butter recipe cake mix
1 (5 ounce) box instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup Crisco cooking oil
1/4-1/2 cup poppy seed

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients for 10 minutes.
  • Place in a greased and floured tube pan.
  • Bake at 375°F for 45 to 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Properly Measure Ingredients: For accurate results, use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients, especially for baking measurements like cups and tablespoons. A scale ensures consistency and precision.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients greatly impacts the cake's flavor. Use fresh, ripe plums and pluots for the compote, and use fresh lemon juice for the cake batter.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar is a crucial step in many cake recipes. Ensure you cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, as this incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a more tender and moist cake.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing the cake batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Proper Baking Temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake. Accurate oven temperature is essential for even baking and the cake's proper rise.
  • Test for Doneness: Use a toothpick or cake tester to check the doneness of the cake. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the cake is done baking.

Conclusion:

This Poppy Seed Pound Cake with Plum Pluot Compote is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The moist and fluffy cake, complemented by the sweet and tangy compote, creates a perfect balance of flavors. The recipe provides detailed instructions and helpful tips to ensure success, making it accessible to both experienced and novice bakers.
