BETH'S LEMON POPPY SEED POUND CAKE RECIPE
Serves 8
Makes 1 Loaf
PRINT THE RECIPE HERE:
INGREDIENTS:
For the Cake:
1 cup (227 grams) butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups (250g) sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
3 Tbsp (45ml) Lemon Zest
2 Tbsp (30ml) Poppy Seeds
1 ⅔ cups (242 grams) of all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10ml) baking powder
¾ tsp (3.49 grams) salt
1 cup (227 grams) full-fat sour cream
For The Lemon Glaze:
1 cup (118 grams) powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons (30ml) of fresh lemon juice, or water
METHOD:
Before you begin, make sure your butter, eggs and sour cream are at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Prepare a 9 x 5 (23x13 cm) loaf pan by spraying it with baking spray and distributing it well with a pastry brush or paper towel.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
Beat together the softened butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. It should have the texture of whipped cream! Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating down the bowl in between each addition.
Add the lemon zest and poppy seeds. Beat to combine.
Add the flour in thirds, alternating with the sour cream. Beat gently, just until combined, in between each addition, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Transfer the batter into your loaf pan, smoothing it out with a spatula, and shaking the pan so it’s level.
Bake for 55 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before glazing it.
For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Whisk to combine. Use the glaze right away to frost the cake otherwise, it will harden. If this happens just thin it out with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice.
Release the pound cake from its tin and place it on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Set it on a cooling rack to allow the glaze to drip into the pan. The parchment paper will make for easier clean up!
Starting at the top of the cake, spoon the glaze all over the top of the cake, working your way down, spooning it just to the outer edges and corners, gravity will then take it from there and drizzle it naturally over the sides for a pretty presentation.
While the glaze is still wet, zest a little bit more grated lemon zest over the glaze, as it hardens it will set into the glaze.
Leave uncovered at room temperature before serving for up to 2 hours. Otherwise, refrigerate (refrigerate immediately if using milk in the glaze)
Remove cake from the refrigerator and allow it to get to room temperature before serving, or cut slices and pop them in the microwave (each slice for :11) it will soften bake up to a just warm, freshly baked texture!

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 3 hr 45 min (includes sitting and cooling times)
Active: 20 min
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
1 cup buttermilk, shaken
1/3 cup poppy seeds (1.75 ounces)
Nonstick baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup grated lemon zest, loosely packed (4 to 5 large lemons)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
For the glaze:
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature.
