Best Eggless Lemon Pound Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cup (280 gr) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk (I used whole milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (115 gr) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 gr) white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Lemon Sugar Glaze
- 1 cup (120 gr) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) heavy cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease with no-stick baking spray a bread loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a measuring cup or bowl, mix together lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy and pale on medium-high speed. Add the granulated sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed, scraping down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add lemon zest and beat for 1 minute. Then add lemon mixture; continue beating to combine about 1 minute.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour. Scrape down the mixing bowl with a spatula and turn the batter over several times to ensure all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Beat just until combine. Do not overmix this batter.
- Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan. NOTE: The lemon cake batter is thick so use a spatula to spread it into the pan, if necessary.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center. Allow the pound cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. The cake must be completely cool before frosting.
- Make the glaze: Whisk all of the icing ingredients together and pour over the pound cake.
