Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
8 oz sour cream, or cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon orange extract
3 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
5 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
1 orange, zested
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Make the cake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand beater), cream the butter and sugar on low speed until smooth, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating to incorporate between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again, then add the sour cream, vanilla, and orange extract and beat to incorporate.
  • Sift the self-rising flour and salt into a large bowl.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed to incorporate, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Grease a 14½-cup Bundt pan evenly with nonstick spray. Evenly sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pan and rotate until evenly coated, then tap out the excess.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Shake and drop the pan onto the counter a couple times to release any air bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert the cake from the pan and let cool for at least 30 minutes more.
  • Make the glaze: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla, lemon zest, lime zest, and orange zest and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 ½ cups all purpose flour, sifted
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or 2 8 x 5-inch (20 x 12 cm) loaf pans with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Let the cake cool in the pan(s) for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and unmold from the pan(s). Let cool completely.

GLAZED LEMON POUND CAKE LOAF RECIPE BY TASTY



Glazed Lemon Pound Cake Loaf Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: butter, white sugar, large eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, all purpose flour, table salt, baking soda, baking powder, sour cream, icing, lemon juice

Provided by Addison Anderson

Categories     Desserts

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon table salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup sour cream, removed from fridge 15 minutes before using
½ cup icing
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Spray an 8×4-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper that covers the bottom and long sides, with an inch or so extending past the top of the pan (these will be the "handles" to lift the loaf out of the pan).
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar until light-colored and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together well the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, starting with ⅓ of the flour, ½ of the sour cream, ⅓ of the flour, the last of the sour cream, then finally the last of the flour.
  • Scrape into the prepared 8×4-inch loaf pan and level batter. Bake in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife along the short ends and use the parchment paper edges to lift and remove from pan. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
  • While the loaf is still a little warm, prepare the glaze, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable glaze. Place a baking tray under the cooling rack to catch any drips and spoon glaze slowly over top of loaf, allowing it to drip down the sides a bit. Cool completely, then slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan or tube pan for even baking and a moist texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
  • For a citrusy burst of flavor, use freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice in the glaze.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the glaze to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake while it is still warm for a glossy finish.
