LEMON GLAZED SOUR CREAM POPPY SEED POUND CAKE
This cake is one of many derived from my Cream Cheese/Sour Cream Pound cake. Which is why I lovc the recipe so much. No matter what spin I put on this cake, it is always well accepted. I frequently interchange sour cream with cream cheese, or make it an almond, rum, orange or lemon glazed, they are all very good, and this version...

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl lightly combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients, including the lemon zest and poppy seeds, and mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend. Add the butter and half the egg mixture. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed (high speed if using a hand mixer) and beat for 1 minute to aerate and develop the cake's structure.
- Scrape down the sides. Gradually add the remaining egg mixture in 2 batches, beating for 20 seconds after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the structure. Scrape down the sides.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. The batter will be almost 1/2 inch from the top of a 4-cup loaf pan. (If your pan is slightly smaller, use any excess batter for cupcakes.) Bakes 55 to 65 minutes (35 to 45 minutes in a fluted tube pan) or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with buttered foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning. The cake should start to shrink from the sides of the pan only after removal from the oven.
- To get an attractive split down the middle of the crust, wait until the natural split is about to develop (about 20 minutes) and then with a lightly greased sharp knife or a single-edged razor blade make a shallow mark about 6 inches long down the middle of the cake. This must be done quickly so that the oven door does not remain open very long or the cake will fall. When cake splits, it will open along the mark.
- Shortly before the cake is done, prepare the Lemon Syrup:
- In a small pan over medium heat, stir the sugar and lemon juice until dissolved. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, place the pan on a rack, poke the cake all over with a wire tester, and brush it with 1/2 the syrup. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a spatula and invert it onto a greased wire rack. Poke the bottom of the cake with the wire tester, brush it with some syrup, and reinvert onto a greased wire rack. Brush the sides with the remaining syrup and allow to cool before wrapping airtight. Store 24 hours before eating to give the syrup a chance to distribute evenly. The syrup will keep the cake fresh a few days longer than a cake without syrup.
- **Note:**This cake is very attractive made in individual portions. A 6-cake Bundt-lette pan is the perfect size. This recipe will make 6 individual cakelettes, which require about 20 minutes to bake.
- Finished Height: In a 4-cup loaf: 2 1/4 inches at the sides and 3 1/2 inches in the middle. In a 6-cup loaf: 1 3/4 inches at the sides and 2 1/2 inches in the middle. In a 6-cup fluted tube: 2 1/4 inches in the middle.
- Store: Airtight: 3 days room temperature, 1 week refrigerated, 2 months frozen.
- Complementary Adornment: A simple dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serve: Room temperature.
- Pointers for Success:
- • Use cake flour that does not already contain leavening. Do not use self-rising cake flour.
- • Use superfine sugar for finest texture.
- • Use fresh baking powder.
- • Measure or weigh ingredients carefully.
- • If using a hand-held mixer, beat at high speed.
- • Use the correct pan size.
- • For very even layers and maximum height use Magi-Cake Strips.
- • Check for accurate oven temperature.
- • Use correct baking time; do not overbake.
- • Be sure to use a wooden toothpick to test for doneness. The cake will spring back when pressed lightly in the center even before it is done. If the cake is underbaked, it will have tough, gummy spots instead of a fine, tender crumb.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 4-cup (8x4-inch) or six-cup loaf pan, line the bottom with parchment or waxed paper, and grease and flour the paper. Or grease and flour a fluted tube pan.
- Lightly combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the lemon zest and poppy seeds.
- Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend.
- Then add the butter and half the egg mixture. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Increase the speed to medium (high if you are using a hand mixer), and beat for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Gradually add the remaining egg mixture in two batches, beating for 20 seconds after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the surface with a spatula. The batter will be almost 1/2 inch from the top of a 4-cup loaf pan.
- Bake, covering the pan loosely with buttered aluminum foil after 30 minutes to prevent over browning, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes (35 to 45 minutes in a fluted pan). To get an attractive split down the middle of the crust, wait until the natural split is about to develop (when cake has cooked for about 20 minutes), and then use a lightly greased sharp knife to make a shallow mark about 6 inches long down the middle of the cake. (This must be done very quickly so that the oven door does not remain open very long, or the cake will fall). When the cake splits, it will open along the mark.
- Shortly before the cake is done, prepare the Lemon Syrup: In a small pan over medium heat, stir the sugar and lemon juice together until the sugar has dissolved.
- As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, place the pan on a wire rack, poke the cake all over with a wire tester or wooden skewer, and brush it with half the syrup.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Loosen the sides of the cake with a spatula, and invert it onto a greased wire rack.
- Poke the bottom of the cake with the wire tester, brush it with some syrup, and re-invert it onto a greased wire rack.
- Brush the sides with the remaining syrup and allow the cake to cool completely.
- Store the cake for 24 hours, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap (to give the syrup a chance to distribute evenly). Serve at room temperature. *Note*: Tightly wrapped, the cake will keep for 3 days at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator, and 2 months in the freezer.

LEMON-POPPY SEED POUND CAKE
Instructions require food processor--you might not have the same results without. Make with poppy seeds or without. Juice and zest requires 2-3 lemons. You can also use this same recipe to make Orange Pound Cake, substituting orange zest and orange juice (and leaving out the poppy seeds). From Fine Cooking, Spring 2002.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan with softened butter and dust with flour.
- In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Take 1 tablespoon of flour mixture and toss with poppy seeds in a small bowl, set aside.
- Melt butter (I use microwave--but be sure not to leave it in too long or it will bubble over).
- In food processor, process sugar and zest until combined--just a few short pulses.
- Add lemon juice, eggs and vanilla; process until combined, about 5 seconds.
- With machine running, add melted butter through feed tube (this should take about 20 seconds).
- Transfer mixture to large bowl.
- Sift flour mixture over eggs in thirds, whisking gently after each addition until just combined.
- Gently fold in poppy seeds until evenly incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue baking until deep golden brown and skewer inserted in center comes out clean (about 35 minutes).
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack and brush on Lemon Glaze, if desired.
- Cool to room temperature.
- For glaze: While loaf is cooling, bring sugar and lemon juice to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
- After removing cake from pan, poke entire top and sides with a toothpick.
- Brush top and sides of cake with glaze.
- I like to do this while cake is on cooling rack over sink or waxed paper as it can be messy!
