National Pound Cake Day - 🍋Lemon Loaf🍋
Happy National Pound Cake Day, you guys 💃💃💃💃
What the H is a pound cake?
Pound Cake is the ultimate food, haven't you heard? It's great for every time, every season, every occasion, and a slice is a must for every day, if I was the President 😂.
Traditionally baked in a tube pan, as the name is pound cake, it really uses a pound each of the ingredients, so bakers go by the ratio of 1:1:1:1
- 1 pound of flour
- 1 pound of butter
- 1 pound of eggs
- 1 pound of sugar
Obviously since the ingredients are plenty, they make a big cake that could feed plenty. It is so rich, a slice would gain you a pound of weight 😉
Today's pound cakes are mostly baked in loaf pan (and people would half the ingredients of their recipe) , just like this following cake of mine, lemon pound cake with delish banana icing on the top.
It is a vegan pound loaf cake and no, I did not use a pound of egg substitutes, too expensive yo! - and no, you cannot subs 9 eggs with 27 tbsp AF, you will get pudding instead a cake 😂
Cake
- 1 1/2 c flour
- 3/4 c sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- grated of lemon peel
- 100 ml vegetable oil

- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
How To

- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, lemon peel, and baking powder
- Make a well in the center and pour in oil, water, essence and juice, mix to combine
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, cool cake on cookie rack
Banana Icing
- 2 large bananas
- 1/2 c icing sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
How To
- In a heatproof bowl, mash bananas
- Stir in the rest of ingredients
- Using double boiler method, beat icing for 7 mins

- Spread icing on cake
...and oh, don't use serrated knife, my first slice was sad 😌
I was busy at work and missed pound cake day. I did get cookies and ice cream as part of my lunches that day though. :P

YUM, this looks so good. I love anything lemon (and pound cake is one of my favorite treats!). I think I’d be tempted to toss in some poppy seeds, but this one is a keeper!
Yes. Sometimes with raisins, sometimes with poppy seeds. This recipe is a keeper as a base recipe for lemon loaf 😉
