FOOD FIGHT FRIDAY| CAKE FOR MY DAUGHTER
It's Friday y'all, let the fight begin. I just love @fff, I have found a wealth of food and recipes in this community. Some I have tried already, others I am waiting to try. Well good luck to everyone this week, may the best plate win.
Sunday was my daughter birthday and she had asked me to make her a "Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake." I found a recipe for the cake on YouTube. The recipe was by Meso Making It. The only difference between the two cakes is my cake does not have the glaze, my daughter wanted her cake plain...no glaze. Make sure all ingredients are room temperature before starting.
Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake
3 cups plain flour (sifted)
3 cups sugar (sifted)
3 sticks butter (or margarine)
1 package instant lemon pudding
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice (pulp and lemon zest)
1 tsp. lemon flavor
1/2 tsp, vanilla flavor (or you may use 1 1/2 tsp. lemon only)
1 8 oz. pack cream cheese (room temperature)
6 large eggs (7 eggs if you only have medium) room temperature
dash of salt
I creamed the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Then I added salt and flavoring and beat well. Added eggs, 1 at a time beating well after each egg. Spooned in flour and beat for 1 minute. Batter was very thick and the bowl was heavy. Spoon batter mixture into a greased and floured large tube pan (not bundt cake pan). It was hard to get the batter in the pan without getting a little on the side of the pan. This recipe makes a large and dense cake.
Bake in pre-heated 325 degree temperature oven for at least 90 minutes. Do not open oven door before 90 minutes. Then check for doneness by inserting a long toothpick. Toothpick should come out clean. If toothpick has damp dough on it return to oven and bake 15 more minutes. Let cool on rack in pan for 1 hour before removing.
I had a small piece of this cake and I must say, it was really, really good. The lemons added a special taste to the cake, it was creamy and light despite the denseness.
Yep, I’d kill be able to eat a piece of this cake right now. Happy birthday to your daughter :). By the way, I’m amazed at how much butter that recipe calls for. I bet it was delicious 😋
Thank you @ puravidaville, this cake was so good I thought about making another one for myself. Then I came to my senses. It has too many of the items that I have given up but not forgotten. Thanks for the birthday wish for my daughter.
I hear you. I often make Dandays treats that for a split second I almost imagine putting a piece in my mouth and then I shake it off and eat a piece of spinach or something … haha
I’m so glad you made it back! Pura Vida even said just a few hours ago “no paleotwist this week?” Then I saw this cake like “there she is!” Happy Birthday to your daughter.
Great entry, chef. Happy Friday.
Thank you @dandays. My husband had the laptop at his photography class today and I couldn't post until after he got home and did his weekly assignment. I had already written my post on the laptop. So I was late in posting today. Thanks for the birthday wish for my daughter.
Yummy @paleotwist.. the instant lemon puding alone would make this cake delucious, but along with creamcheese and all that lemon things ... your daughter must be so happy to eat it😊 Happy Birthday to your lovely one 😉
@cicisaja, she was very happy to eat the cake, so were my granddaughters. This is a very rich cake and pudding adds a creamier texture to the cake. Thanks for the Happy Birthday for my daughter.
Food Fight Friday
May your contender survive and not be placed in a permanent food coma!
Come on over to our Discord for some off the Blockchain Fun
Thank you @foodfightfriday, I need it. There are a lot of good contenders this week.
Happy Birthday Little @paleotwist … you just had to do that didn't you... Cake... I am just getting some coffee flowin and BAM cake in my face. Anyone else seeing how perfect those slices are and the color of that frosting in contract to the cake. Drool
Thank you @jlsplatts for the Happy Birthday for my daughter. This cake is just too good and of course it is not on my approved list of foods. I just do what mothers and grandmother's do, bake goodies for the children.
That's right, just gotta do what a Mama has gotta do. Even if it does involve a delicous cake and other baked goodies. Remember, if no one sees you eat it... you didn't :wink:wink
@paleotwist, please, please send me a piece of that cake.
