Limoncello Pound Cake Recipe From Callmepmccom

REFRESHING LIMONCELLO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and 4 tablespoons limoncello in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix or the cake will be tough. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
• Stir the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of limoncello together in a small bowl until smooth. Poke small holes all over the top of the still-warm cake with a fork or toothpick. Spoon the glaze over the cake and spread with the back of a spoon. The glaze will seep into the cake and add moisture.

LIMONCELLO POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a a 10-cup bundt pan. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low for 2 minutes. Add the butter, and continue beating on low for about 2 minutes, or until the ingredients appear coarse like bread crumbs. Meanwhile, whisk all the remaining batter ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium, add one-third of the liquid and mix for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl and beater Add another third of the liquid, beat for 2 minutes, and scrape again. Finally, add the remaining liquid and repeat. Use a rubber spatula to give the batter a final stir, then scrape it into the prepared bundt pan, and smooth the top. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto the rack to finish cooling.
• Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the Limoncello, and lemon extract. Using a pastry brush, moisten the cake evenly with the syrup. Gradually brush until it is all absorbed.
• By hand, mix the powdered sugar, oil, Limoncello, and lemon juice. Add the hot water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture is creamy, but not too runny. Mix vigorously for a couple of minutes. Pour icing over the cooled cake, allowing it drip over the sides.

POUND CAKE WITH LIMONCELLO ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• For the berries: Mix together the berries, lemon juice, limoncello and sugar in a medium bowl. Crush the berries gently, using the back of a fork. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to let the juices develop and the flavors mingle.
• For the limoncello zabaglione: Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a heat-proof medium bowl that fits comfortably over the saucepan without touching the water, combine the egg yolks, limoncello, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed until smooth and incorporated. Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue beating until a thick ribbon remains in the mixture when the beaters are lifted out, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and continue to beat for another 2 minutes to prevent the egg from cooking. Cool to room temperature.
• To serve, place a 3/4-inch-thick slice of pound cake on a plate. Top with a spoonful of the berries and a dollop of the zabaglione.

LIMONCELLO POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 6-cup loaf pan and line it with parchment or waxed paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and 1 cup of the sugar. With the mixer running at low speed, add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Working in alternating batches, and mixing after each addition, add the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup of the lemon juice (along with the limoncello) to the butter mixture. Mix until just smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until raised in the center and a tester inserted into the center comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are OK), 65 to 75 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat together the 1/3 cup sugar and the 1/3 cup lemon juice, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside. When the cake is done, let cool in the pan 15 minutes (it will still be warm). Run a knife around the sides of the pan. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan with sides (to catch the glaze) and turn the cake out onto the rack. Peel off the waxed paper. Using a pastry brush, spread glaze all over the top and sides of the cake and let soak in. Repeat until the entire glaze is used up, including any glaze that has dripped through onto the sheet pan. Let cool at room temperature or, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.
