Aunt Minne Lees Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a fluted 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition, until the batter is smooth; stir in the lemon extract. Mix the lemon-lime soda into the batter and pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• For the glaze: Beat the confectioners' sugar, milk, lemon-lime soda and extracts together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the glaze is smooth.
• Pierce holes in the cake with a skewer. Pour 1/4 cup glaze over the cake. Flip the cake onto a serving plate to remove from the pan, then pour the remaining glaze on top. The cake can be served immediately, but tastes even better the longer it sits.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray tube bundt pan generously with Baker's Joy.
• 2. Mix ingredients for cake together until smooth. Do not overmix.
• 3. Pour batter into pan and bake for 55 -65 minutes until done (Use the fork or tooth pick test). Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes and invert to serving dish.
• 4. While cake is cooling mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to desired texture. It is only a glaze, so it should been a thick nectar consistency.
• 5. Pour glaze over cake a little at a time spreading with the back of a spoon allowing it to soak into the still warm cake.
• 6. Serve warm or room temperature.....it doesn't matter!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and shortening together with a hand mixer.
• Mix the eggs, one at a time, into the batter.
• In a medium bowl, combine the milk, lemon extract, and vanilla extract.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Alternately add the dry and wet ingredients into the batter.
• Pour the batter equally into two greased and lightly floured loaf pans.
• Bake in a non-preheated oven set to 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream and berries.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Beat white sugar and 1 1/2 cups butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating each egg into the butter mixture before adding the next.
• Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix well. Pour in 1/2 the buttermilk and beat until combined. Repeat adding the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, beating well after each addition, and ending with the flour mixture. Stir lemon extract into batter. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cake platter or plate.
• Beat confectioner's sugar, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon zest together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Pour about half the glaze over the cake; let cool. Pour remaining glaze over the cake.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch/12-cup Bundt pan.
• Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat on high speed until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse the beaters and in a separate large bowl, add eggs and beat until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (The fluffier the eggs, the fluffier the cake.) Add the beaten eggs, vanilla and lemon extracts to the butter and cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In another large bowl, add cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. (Do not open the oven door before 20 minutes have passed, as the temperature shift can flatten the cake.)
• While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, and add lemon juice to taste and to adjust consistency. (Icing should be thin enough to drizzle, but still retain some body.)
• When the cake is done, remove from the oven, and unmold immediately to a plate or serving platter. Pour the glaze over the top. (Doing this when the cake is warm helps the glaze soak in.) Serve warm or at room temperature. To store, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for several months.
