The juice of two lemons, low fat buttermilk, and glaze, make this pound cake the moistest I have ever tasted!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix buttermilk and lemon juice together in another bowl. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Add lemon zest and mix, just until smooth. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool cake for ten minutes. Mix the powdered sugar and 1/3 cup of lemon juice glaze together with a whisk. Make a few holes in cake with a toothpick and pour glaze over cake. Store the cake covered in the refrigerator after serving.
