This lemon-almond cake is the first cake I learned to make more than 30 years ago, and it's still a favorite of mine. You can freeze any leftover cake and berry sauce for another time. -Michaela Rosenthal, Woodland Hills, California

ALMOND POUND CAKE WITH LEMON



Almond Pound Cake with Lemon image

There are several variations of this cake, but this is the one that I like best. Note the use of almond oil as an ingredient. Try to find one that is very fragrant (many are not). This cake is easy to make and great served with fresh berries or good ice cream.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup fragrant almond oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
12 ounces almond paste, cut into pieces
2 large lemons, zested and juiced
5 large eggs
1/2 cup flour mixed with 1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

Lemon-Almond Pound Cake
Serves 10
This is our hands-down favorite cake of the moment. It's versatile, absolutely delicious by itself with tea or coffee or with ice cream, sorbets, granitas, berries or other summer fruit. Manhattan chef Matttew Kenney invented it, and food editor Jane Ellis, bless her heart, published it in House Beautiful Entertaining.
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup olive oil
3/4 cup sugar
12 ounces almond paste, cut into pieces
Grated zest of 3 lemons
5 large eggs
1/2 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3-4 tablespoons lemon liqueur (see Cook's Note)
Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and set a rack on the middle level. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, butter the paper and dust with flour.
Beat together the 5 tablespoons butter, oil and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the almond paste and lemon zest and beat until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour and baking powder.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour, until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Unmold onto the rack and let cool completely.
Transfer the cake right side up to a serving plate and gradually brush the lemon liqueur over the top slowly so it sinks in completely. (The cake can be made up to a day in advance; wrap with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.) Just before serving, sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar.
