Small Lemon Pound Cake image

I originally got this recipe back in the late 1970's or early 80's in an old cookbook. It makes a delicious and moist pound cake. The first time that I made this recipe in my oven, it burned so I've adjusted the temperature and baking time accordingly. If your oven is on the cooler side, you could follow the original baking...

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c butter, softened
1 2/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 large eggs at room temperature
2 c sifted all-purpose flour
the juice and zest from one lemon (or you can use 3 to 4 tablespoons reconstituted lemon juice from the bottle)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a 9" loaf pan, then grease and flour the pan & paper. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat butter, sugar and salt until well mixed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Cream together until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Add flour a little at a time and mix by hand after each addition. Do not use a mixer at this point. Stir in lemon juice/zest just until combined. You may use a mixer for no more than 10 seconds at this point, just to make sure you have it mixed thoroughly.
  • 4. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Special note: The original recipe stated to bake at 350 for 55 minutes, but in my oven it burned, so the above temperature and time is adjusted to my oven. Oven temps vary, so use your own judgement.

This cake is perfect for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor is a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cakes.

I'm not a fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The cake was also very moist and fluffy.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand and this cake is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely there. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
