Lemon Pound Cake

I just added 1 Lemon to my ‘Basic Pound Cake’, which is actually ‘125g cake’, not ‘1 pound cake’. I added the Lemon Zest to the batter and I drizzled the Lemon Syrup over the hot cake. It is very simple to make, no technic required, and it is delicious as you can imagine.

Ingredient

Food ration :

Standard Loaf Tin

125 g

Butter

125 g

(OR 1/2 cup) Caster Sugar

Eggs (about 125g) *must be at room temperature

125 g

Self-Raising Flour

1/4 cup

Caster Sugar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease a loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.

* Step 2

Beat the softened Butter in a mixing bowl with a whisk until smooth. Add Sugar and beat until creamy. Add Eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Lemon Zest and Flour, and combine.

* Step 3

Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the surface. *Note: Spread the middle part thinner and the edges thicker, so that you will have a nice centre crack.

* Step 4

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through. Insert a skewer into the hot cake all over and make lots of holes.

* Step 5

Mix Sugar and Lemon Juice in a small bowl, then pour the syrup over the cake evenly. Leave the cake in the tin until completely cool. Dust with with Powdered Sugar before serve.

* Step 6

*Lemon Icing Option: If you wish to add Lemon Icing on top instead of soaking Lemon Syrup, mix 1/2 cup Icing Sugar and 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice to make the icing.
