Directions: Meyer Lemon Pound Cake With Citrus Syrup Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
  • STEP 2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • STEP 3.Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  • STEP 4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk.
  • STEP 5.Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • STEP 6.Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • STEP 7.While the cake is baking, prepare the citrus syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly.
  • STEP 8.Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • STEP 9.Poke holes all over the top of the cake with a skewer or toothpick. Pour the citrus syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • STEP 10.Let the cake cool completely before serving. Serve slices of the Meyer Lemon Pound Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
