OLD FASHIONED LEMON POUND CAKE

Straight-to-it, no nonsense, Southern lemon poundcake! A variation from the Fish Family Cookbook, out of South Carolina. You can make this any old way you want, you can substitute some vanilla for the lemon zest, and add anything you want. Cherries, pineapple, coconut, chocolate chips, blueberries, orange zest, just about anything! I like to make a simple glaze for this with 1.5 cups icing sugar, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1/4 cup lemonade, but you could also use milk or water.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup cooking oil
1 cup margarine, at room temp
5 eggs, at room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
3 cups plain flour (all purpose)
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
cooking spray (or shortening and flour)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix cooking oil (Crisco works best), sugar, margarine(Can't believe it's not butter works best), eggs, vanilla and lemon flavoring together in a large mixing bowl with mixer on medium speed. Tip: when adding eggs, add two then mix, add two more then mix, add last one and mix.
  • In separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder together and set aside (can use whisk to mix).
  • Slowly add flour/baking powder mixture in with the wet mixture. Tip: Add a little flour mixture and a little milk, repeat until all milk and flour mix has been added. This helps to keep batter texture thick and smooth.
  • Spray (Baker's Joy works best) or batter bunt/tube pan thoroughly.
  • Pour batter mixture in bunt/tube pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Cake is done when cake tester comes out clean.
  • GOD BLESS
