Zubereitung von Lemon Glazed Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top using a large fork.
- Pour the lemon syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar and 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Pour the glaze over the top of the cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
