Lemon Vanilla Pound cake recipe

Lemon Vanilla Pound cake recipeLemon Vanilla Pound cake recipe

This Lemon Vanilla Pound cake is my first cake recipe I am posting in this blog. This I believe is the simplest of cake recipes with few ingredients.

If you just use the vanilla essence and leave out the lemon juice it will be a plain vanilla pound cake. As a variation you can also use the pineapple essence to make it a pineapple pound cake.

Ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour (Maida) – 2 cups
  • Powdered Sugar – 2 cups
  • Unsalted butter – 2 cups (4 sticks)
  • Pure vanilla extract or essence – 2 tsp
  • Lemon juice – 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder – 2 tsp
  • Plain milk – 1/2 cup
  • Eggs – 3 nos
  • Salt – 1 tsp salt

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour, plus cooling

pound-cake-recipe-1

Cooking Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Take a cake pan and lightly coat it with butter including the sides and dust a little flour wherever the butter is coated.
  3. In a blender or mixer on high speed beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Then add one egg at a time into the blender beat the mixture.
  5. Transfer the blender content into a mixing bowl. Now add the all-purpose flour slowly and gradually into the bowl. Keep stirring the mixture in clockwise direction using a large spoon or spatula. You can use your hand as well. Do not over mix or over beat the mixture. Just ensure that flour is mixed well enough without any lumps.
  6. Finally add the Vanilla extract, Lemon juice and milk. Mix everything together. Remember Lemon Juice is just to give another flavor to the cake. You can skip it if you want to. The pound cake with only the vanilla essence is just as good and very delicious.
  7. Pour this mixture into the cake pan and bake for around 45 minutes. to test if the cake is done take a toothpick or knife and insert it into the center of the cake. If it is dry and clean when you remove it from the cake then it means it is done.
  8. Let the cake pan cool for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Run a knife around the sides of the pan and remove the cake by inverting it and then allow it to cool if it is still hot. Then you can cut the cake into thin slices and serve.

what table food can cats eat?



This frequently asked question seems to be endlessly coming over and over, and I think only a good list of table foods that cats can eat will answer this question.
So here's for you a list of common table foods that you can safely share with your cat:

- Meat (of couurse :p).
- Milk (in moderate amounts).
- Pieces of bread.
- Cheese.

It is also important to know what human table food cats cannot eat, because some foods can be deadly for cats, here's a quick list:

- Alcohol.
- Chocolate.
- Bones (to some extent).
- Coffee grounds or beans
- Avocados.
- Raw eggs (Cooked eggs are not dangerous).
- Onions.
- Garlic.
- Raw fish.
- spices.

I will add more items to both lists as I go, it's difficult to list all what a cat can eat (or cannot eat), but I will complement the lists later.

This was an answer to the question: what table food can cats eat?

Spring Rolls

This is a follow up to the wrappers made on this post. I have made these wrappers many times now and they still work. Last week I ran out strong white flour so I used plain flour, it wasn't as good the wrappers were easier to break. I can now confirm the stronger (higher protein contain) the flour the better. The other thing I also found out was they are not very good to wrap after in the fridge
