Lemon pound cake. There are so many variations of pound cake as there are cookbooks written. However, as the word “pound” describes it, the four main ingredients are all adding to one pound.
The France cousin, we call it a “quatre-quarts” or four quarters. To determine the amount of butter, milk, flour, and sugar needed, weigh the eggs first to determine how much of the other ingredients you will need.
Using the above method I have been making pound cake all my life. Just change the flavors around a bit, vanilla, lemon, chocolate, dry fruits, and you will have a new version of it.
Not a very sweet dessert it goes well with fresh fruits, ice cream, Chantilly. Great companions to this very simple and yet very delicious dessert.
TIP: Well spray or butter and flour the mold as it may stick to the walls and the presentation will not be as attractive. Links below.
