Lemon Cake Lemon Cake

My mother and I love lemon cakes. I tried to recreate the lemon cake I received as a gift. I halved the amount from a pound cake recipe and slightly modified it for this cake's batter.Use lemon chocolate or coating white chocolate if you can find it!Don't over-mix after you add the flour. If you can't get the coating chocolate, you may use white chocolate. However, normal white chocolate is rich and sweet, so it may be better to slightly reduce the amount of sugar.Use a local well-ripened lemon. Recipe by Myumako

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake

This lemon pound cake is not quite the typical butter cake. The addition of cream cheese makes it a little more special and flavorful. But it is still an easy and quick recipe to make on any day.

Lemon Cake with Egg Whites Lemon Cake with Egg Whites

I've been making recipes using only egg whites or egg yolks. This time, I used the leftover eggs from "Golden Egg Cakes with Only Egg Yolks." I always have one or the other leftover!The icing won't harden right away, so please give it time. "Sweet and sour icing on moist, fragrant cake" is the best combination! So, I reduced the amount of lemon juice in the batter. Recipe by Asamato

Lemon Sour Cream Pound Cake Lemon Sour Cream Pound Cake

I learned to make pound cake in high school home economics class in the 1960s and fell in love with it. Made one a week for my dad and siblings. I'd bake it in a loaf pan and serve slices topped with fruit and whipped cream. It's probably been 50 years since I last baked one, and I was really excited to make this one with sour cream and the tangy lemon glaze. Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, and this delicious cake really hit a home run!#GoldenApron23

What better time to have some lemon buttermilk pound cake; it’s LEMON SEASON here in South Alabama. The picture is just half of the cake. The long loaf works best for get togethers, easy to slice and divide.
