Lemon Pound Cake ( Five Star)

I don't plow over out v stars for a recipe real oft as well as sure enough NOT the outset fourth dimension I endeavour a recipe. However, this recipe received my v star rating immediately! It is, yesteryear far, the best pound cake recipe I've always tried. It's texture is smooth, moist as well as velvety, amongst a hint of lemon. The recipe makes 1 10" subway scheme pan or 2 loaf cakes. I promise you lot endeavour it.



(1) 8 ounce cream cheese (room temperature)
6 eggs (room temperature)
1½ cups butter (room temperature)
3 cups white sugar
3 cups CAKE flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Preheat oven to 325. Grease as well as flour a 10" subway scheme pan or 2 large loaf pans.

In a stand upward mixer (using whisk attachment), cream the butter as well as cream cheese until polish as well as silky. Slowly add together the saccharide field the mixer is running, as well as trounce until real fluffy (it volition await similar whipped cream as well as may accept every bit long every bit v minutes). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating good inward betwixt each egg. Add the extracts as well as the lemon zest as well as mix well.

Replace whisk attachment amongst paddle attachment. Sift the cake flour into a 1 loving cup mensurate as well as score off amongst a knife. Add flour to butter mixture, 1 loving cup at a time, mixing merely long plenty for the flour to disappear.

Pour batter into prepared subway scheme pan (or 2 large prepared loaf pans). Hold the filled pan close 6" higher upward your counter as well as drib it (this volition dislodge whatever large air pockets). Bake cake for 1 hr twenty minutes. Test for doneness amongst toothpick test. Let the cake cool close 10 minutes hence take away from pan.

NOTE: The butter, cream cheese as well as eggs must endure at  room temperature (I operate out mine on the counter overnight). If you lot don't direct maintain these ingredients at room temperature, they volition non mix correctly as well as your cake volition non bake properly...very important.

NOTE: Don't endeavour this recipe amongst all role flour. Cake flour actually makes a difference.

NOTE: You volition know you lot direct maintain beaten the butter-cream cheese - saccharide mixture plenty when your stand upward mixer bowl is close 2/3 sum as well as is the consistency of whipped cream.


ENJOY !!!
