How To Make Lemon Pound Cake

Basic Lemon Pound Cake

Ingredients

6 large Eggs
3¼ cups Powdered Sugar
1½ cup Softened Butter
½ cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Milk
3¼ cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Lemon Extract

Glaze Ingredients

½ cup Lemon Juice
¾ cup Powdered Sugar
¾ cup Water
1 tsp Lemon Rind, grated

Procedure

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, using an electric hand-held mixer at medium speed. Continue the beating until you get a smooth and uniform blend.
Add oil to the blended butter and gradually add sugar to the mixture. Once the sugar gets blended properly, add in the egg yolks, one after another.
After constant and regular beating, you will get a smooth creamy blend, to which you can add the flour gradually. You can add the flour alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour.
Keep blending until you get a paste of desired consistency and texture. To this, add the lemon extract and pour the batter in a pan greased with some butter and flour.
Place this pan inside the oven for around one and half hours or until a wooden pick inserted in the very center of the cake comes out clean.
Once done, remove the pan from the oven and place it over a cooling rack for a few minutes.
For the glaze, stir all the ingredients continuously, until you get a smooth and even paste. You can use this paste to give an even coating over the cake.

It is always better if you use a rubber spatula for the purpose of blending the ingredients.
