Whipped Lemon pound cake! #ingredients 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) salted butter, softened
3 cups white granulated sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups Swans Down Cake Flour, sift before measuring
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ pint heavy whipping cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Butter and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan (if using a bundt pan, make sure butter and flour completely coat indentations from designs so cake won't stick in them).
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, and then gradually add sugar, beating on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Add Swans Down Cake Flour and heavy whipping cream alternately beating on low speed until just blended as over beating will yield a dry and heavy cake. Add vanilla; for richer flavor, add additional 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake approximately 1 hour and 15-30 minutes or until a long tester inserted in center of cake comes out completely clean.
Cool in pan on wire rack 15-20 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack #baking #recipes #fyp
Lemon pound cake is a delightful dessert that combines the zing of lemon with a rich, buttery texture. This recipe highlights the balance of flavors, using ingredients like salted butter, sugar, eggs, and Swans Down Cake Flour, ensuring a soft, moist cake. To achieve the best results, remember to sift the flour before measuring, which helps avoid excess flour that can lead to a dense cake. The addition of heavy whipping cream contributes to the cake's lightness and buttery flavor. Baking at the right temperature, 325°F, ensures even cooking and prevents burning, particularly in bundt or tube pans where heat distribution can be uneven. Allowing the cake to cool properly in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack is also crucial; this avoids breaking the cake and enhances its presentation. Consider garnishing your whipped lemon pound cake with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of lemon glaze for an added flair. Enjoy this cake at celebrations or as a sweet everyday treat; it pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting, this whipped lemon pound cake will surely satisfy your cravings and impress your guests.
