Italian Lemon Pound Cake
Italian Lemon Pound Cake
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tsp. of fresh ginger, minced
- Zest of 2 lemons ( about 2 tbsps.)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees
1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. In
another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one
at a time. Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla, ginger, and lemon
zest.
2. Mix half of the flour mixture into the
butter mixture. Mix in the buttermilk and then add in the remaining flour
mixture. Mix just until the flour disappears. Pour the cake batter into
a bundt pan that has been generously sprayed with baking spray.
3. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes or until a knife
inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from
the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Turn the cake over on a cake
platter. Spread the lemon glaze over the warm cake so that the
glaze can soak into the cake. Let the cake cool completely and drizzle
the lemon cream cheese frosting over the cake.
