Cómo preparar Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture with 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Set aside.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and the zest of 2-3 lemons (about 2 tablespoons). Pulse until combined.
- Add 1/2 cup lemon juice, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the food processor. Process until well combined (about 5 seconds).
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter through the feed tube.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, gently whisking after each addition until just combined.
- Gently fold in the poppy seed mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is deep golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze (optional): In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top and sides with a toothpick.
- Brush the warm lemon glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
