Lemon Pound Cake

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

Lemon Pound cake will make you swoon. This cake is moist, tender and tart. The light, fluffy crumb has the perfect texture to soak up the sweet-sour glaze. It's also the easiest cake you will ever make. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry.

What is Lemon Pound Cake ?

This classic dessert, baked in a bread pan, is full of citrus notes which cut through the sweetness and butteriness of the cake. Lemon Pound Cake, a simple recipe that uses up leftover lemons in the glaze and batter, is one of my favorites.

How to Serve Lemon Poundcake

The cake tastes great warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs perfectly with No-Churn Strawberry ice cream. Serve it with homemade whipped cream. Try it with Homemade lemon curd to intensify the flavor.

How to store Lemon Poundcake

Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. Wrap leftovers in aluminum foil and parchment paper, then freeze them for up to three months. You can still refrigerate the cake but it will change the texture and the flavor. You can either refrigerate it or freeze it. Try warming it up in the oven at 350degF and brushing a little butter on each piece. You may not have tried it, but the cake is delicious straight from the freezer. It's perfect for a hot day in the summer because it keeps its crumb soft.

How to make Lemon Pound cake - step by step photos

Pre-heat your oven to 350degF by placing an oven rack at the center. Butter a 8x4 loaf pan. Line the pan using parchment. Butter the parchment, then dust it with flour. Shake off any excess flour.

Mix 1.5 cups all-purpose wheat flour with 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup salted butter at room temperature with 1 cup granulated icing sugar until fluffy. Add four large beaten eggs, 1/4 cups of buttermilk and 1/4 cup lemon zest. Mix until well combined.

Add the flour mixture in threes to the butter-egg mixture, stirring after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl before adding the next third.

Pour the batter into the pan. Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes at 350degF in a preheated oven. The cake should spring back when you push the center. A toothpick inserted will come out clean.

After removing the poundcake, let it cool in the oven for 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan. Place it on a cooling tray.

Mix 1 cup powdered Sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon zest to make the glaze.

Serve the cake with the glaze drizzled on top!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the uses of Thai spice?

We all have heard the term Thai spices, but we don't understand what it really means. It makes our mouths water when we try it.

But it isn't just any old spice. It is an important ingredient that gives flavor and depth to bland dishes.

Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's talk about how to make sure you add these amazing flavors to your meals.

Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. Thai comes from the Sanskrit term for "to prepare".

Most Thais like spicy food, even today. This preference is often attributed to the hot weather in Thailand, which makes it difficult to keep warm without something hot to drink. Thais are also more likely to consume chili peppers as compared to Americans or Europeans.

You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There are many options available, including dried chilies as well as fresh basil leaves and curry paste.

Whole peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise may also be found.

Thai cuisine has two kinds of spices: wet and dry. The dry spices are usually ground while the wet spices are crushed or pounded finely.

Dry spices are often added to a dish directly. For example, you can sprinkle ground red pepper onto your chicken soup. A paste is made by combining wet spices and oil with butter or butter.

Wet spices are commonly used in marinades and sauces. Fish sauce, oyster sauces, sesame and sesame olive oils, curry paste and hoisin are some of the most common wet spice options.

If you want to try making Thai dishes at home, you need to know which spices go well with certain ingredients.

Red pepper flakes can be used to season beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.

Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. This market has everything you need, including dried chilies as well as exotic herbs and spices.

You might want to try these Thai recipes next time you feel hungry.

What is the difference between cooking with whole spices and using ground spices? Ground Spices?

There is no difference in cooking with whole spices and cooked with ground spices. After harvesting, all spices are ground. It doesn't make a difference in terms of quality.

The price difference is however significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the flavour is well worth it.

If you purchase whole spices in bulk, you might get an additional discount. An example: If you buy an entire bag full of cinnamon sticks, you might get a discount.

It is the same for cardamom and cloves as well as ginger, ginger, nutmeg, and ginger. You may be able save money if you buy these spices in bulk.

Ground spices are also more durable than whole spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.

However, the main reason we recommend whole spices is because they add character to recipes.

You can make a delicious curry by using whole turmeric in place of ground turmeric. For chicken dishes, whole coriander seeds can be ground to make a spice blend.

The process of grinding spices takes a lot of time. If you're buying whole spices it makes sense for you to buy large quantities. This will ensure that you don't run out of spices quickly.

How do I make Thai food at home using Thai spices?

Five essential spices are required to create authentic Thai cuisine at home. These include black pepper, turmeric, coriander seed, coriander and cinnamon. Each ingredient is unique and plays an integral role in the creation of delicious dishes.

Black pepper enhances the savoury flavors of curry powder, while cinnamon gives it sweetness. Coriander seeds give curry powder its distinctive yellow colour, while turmeric adds a spicy kick. Cayenne peppers bring the heat while cilantro adds freshness. Finally, cinnamon can add depth and complexity in any dish.

These spices are available at most grocery stores. However, if you prefer to order them online, we have recommendations.

What's the importance of spices in your life?

A spice is an ingredient that adds flavor to food. Spices can take many forms such as powders (liquids), oils, pastes and seeds. They are also known for their versatility and ability to be used as flavours and condiments.

You can spice up meals to make them more interesting. Numerous spices can be added to dishes for extra flavour and excitement.

You may find that adding a few drops of hot pepper sauce to a bowl of soup will make it taste more delicious. You could also add a few cayenne peppers to a cup of rice.

The best way to experiment with spicing recipes is to use fresh ingredients. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs last longer than dried.

Although some spices are essential to cooking, there are others that you might prefer not to use. If you have a history or liver disease, cinnamon sticks can be dangerous. Ginger also contains high amounts of coumarin. However, it is much more concentrated. It is safe for people without a history or liver disease.

What are the 11 Indian spices?

The eleven spices of Indian cuisine are coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon sticks, dry red chili powder, turmeric, and cardamom.

These ingredients can also be used in almost any dish. These spices impart a distinct flavor to dishes such as curries (lentils), curries and chutneys. They also add a unique taste to rice, bread, and sweets.

Health benefits can also be attained from spices. One example is turmeric, which helps fight cancer cells. Cloves protect against bad breath. Black pepper lowers cholesterol. Cinnamon lowers blood pressure. And ginger aids digestion.

A spice rack makes a great kitchen tool. It allows you to experiment with many different combinations of flavours. You have the option to make your own mixes of spices, or you can buy ready-made ones that include all the essential spices.

Some people don't like spices. They believe spices only mask natural flavor and do little to enhance them. A pinch of salt or pepper will not harm your dishes.

Most chefs agree spices are essential to culinary art. Many dishes would be bland and tasteless without spices. You might be inspired to try something new next time you feel adventurous.

Statistics

• It has been estimated that around 1,000 tons of pepper and 1,000 tons of other common spices were imported into Western Europe each year during the Late Middle Ages. (en.wikipedia.org)
• India contributes to 75% of global spice production. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Their 14 to 20 percent essential oil content means that cloves have the highest concentration of aroma compounds of any spice. (masterclass.com)

How To

How to choose which spices to buy

To cook, you'll need to know how to choose the right herbs and spices for your recipes. There are many choices. So where do you start?

Three main factors should be considered when selecting spices: price, shelf life and flavour profile. Depending on whether you are cooking meat, fish, vegetables or pasta, the flavour profiles of spices will vary. Once you have decided on a category you will need to narrow your options based on the differences.

You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices can last forever while others go bad quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Then there's the price. Prices for spices range from $1 per teaspoon to more than $100 an ounce. This means you need to balance quality and price.

It's also important to determine if organic or nonorganic ingredients you prefer. Organic products contain fewer chemicals and pesticides than conventional alternatives, making them better for your health and the environment. They can be more expensive, so it's important to weigh the costs and the benefits.

The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.

Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. Once you receive your items, store them safely in airtight containers away from heat and light.
