Best Lemon Lime Pound Cake Recipes

LEMON-LIME POUND CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl, then add it to the butter-sugar mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. With the mixer on low, slowly add the lemon-lime soda and mix until combined. Add the lemon and lime zests and mix. Scrape the bowl and mix again.
• Thoroughly spray a Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Add large spoonfuls of batter to the pan until filled, then even out the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes (a toothpick inserted in the center should not come out totally clean, but it shouldn't be wet with batter either). Let the cake sit in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a cake plate and let it cool.
• For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, salt and about 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and gently whisk until thick but pourable; add a little extra water if needed. Use a large spoon to drizzle the glaze all over the cake. Sprinkle over more zest to decorate. Let the glaze set before serving.
• Whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. Slice the cake and serve with the whipped cream and berries!

LEMON-LIME RICOTTA POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat ricotta, sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl on medium-high speed until mixture is very light, 7 to 9 minutes. Mixture will look almost grainy and curdled--that is normal. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture on high speed for another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in lemon zest and juice and lime zest and juice, until thoroughly incorporated. Add dry ingredients in three separate additions, mixing until only just combined after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges and center of the pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing: whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt until completely smooth. Add in lemon and lime zests and juices and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour icing over the cooled cake.

LEMON LIME SODA POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Grease a 10-inch tube pan and dust with flour.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until fluffy. Slowly add 2 cups of the sugar and mix until just incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, until incorporated.
• Reduce the mixer¿s speed to low. Alternately add the flour and soda until a smooth batter is formed. Transfer the batter to a large bowl.
• Clean the bowl of the mixer and place the egg whites inside. Using the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the lemon juice and beat until soft peaks are formed. Add the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks are formed.
• Working in 3 batches, using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter.
• Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool completely about 2 hours, then unmold and serve.

LEMON LIME ICED POUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 and either spray Baker's Joy in two loaf pans or butter and flour two loaf pans. Cream together room temperature butter and sugar until fluffy.
• 2. Add one egg at a time scraping down the sides of the bowl in between each egg and beat at medium speed until combined and fluffy.
• 3. Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in one bowl. In another bowl mix the buttermilk, juice of one lime, finely grated zest of one whole lime, vanilla extract and 2 of the tablespoons of lemon extract.
• 4. Alternate the dry mixture and the liquid mixture into your butter, eggs, and sugar and mix thoroughly in between adding each one, scraping down the sides of the bowl after adding each time.
• 5. Divide batter into the two loaf pans and spread evenly in pans. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Check with a toothpick or butter knife... crumbs are ok but you do not want any raw batter to stick. Also, if the top seems to be getting too brown, you can cover with foil. I think using the low rack is best for my oven. Let sit in the pans for at least 10-15 minutes then remove to finish cooling.
• 6. When the loaves are completely cooled, mix the powdered sugar with the zest and juice of the second lime and add the last tablespoon of lemon extract to it. whisk until pourable but not runny... you can add a few drops of milk if you need to. Pour over the top of your loaves and let sit until the glaze firms. Slice up and serve!!!
