Lemon Pound Cake
April 27th, 2009 by cook47

..and here is tonight’s dessert. I searched far and wide for a pound cake that uses oil instead of butter, and I think this one is a keeper. So mmmmoist…

lemon pound cake

2-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup canola or safflower oil
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1-3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray with flour. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, oil, vanilla, and eggs. Beat well until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 325 degrees F for 40-50 minutes until dark golden brown. While cake is in oven, combine powdered sugar and 1/2 cup lemon juice and whisk to blend.
Remove cake from oven, beat powdered sugar mixture again, and carefully spoon 1/2 of the lemon and powdered sugar mixture over cake. Loosen edges of cake and turn out onto serving plate. Slowly drizzle remaining lemon mixture over cake. Let cool. Serves 10-12

Just curious why you wanted one with oil and not butter. What is the advantage?

Oil is mostly unsaturated fat, and butter is mostly saturated fat. Saturated fat raises your bad cholesterol and lowers your good cholesterol.
