Sour Cream Lemon Pound Cake

1
|
Preheat oven to 350°F**. Grease a Bundt cake pan with cooking spray or neutral oil. Then, whisk together the flour, Kosher salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.
2
|
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until incorporated, about 4 minutes. (The mixture may be a little sandy). Add the lemon zest and vanilla. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time until incorporated.
3
|
Add half of the flour mixture, followed by half of the sour cream. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture and sour cream, just until mixed. A few lumps are ok! Pour the batter into the Bundt cake pan until smooth.
4
|
Bake for 60-75 minutes*** until an inserted toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, and then let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Blackberry Glaze

1
|
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl and set aside. If you are using frozen blackberries, let them thaw completely on the counter or heat them in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until completely thawed.
2
|
Pour the blackberries in a food processor (or blender) and puree the berries until they are completely smooth. Strain the blackberry puree through the fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a wooden spoon to get out as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover seeds and pulp.
3
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of blackberry juice until a thick glaze forms. Thin the glaze with milk (or blackberry juice) 1 Tablespoon at a time until your glaze is thick but pourable. It should be the consistency of honey.
4
|
Pour the blackberry glaze over the cooled sour cream lemon pound cake. Decorate as desired. Let the glaze set at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Room Temperature Magic 🌡️
    Ensure all ingredients like butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a perfectly smooth, evenly mixed cake batter that rises beautifully.
  • Zest Like a Pro 🍋
    Use a microplane grater to capture only the bright yellow outer layer of lemon zest, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath for maximum citrus flavor.
  • Blackberry Glaze Consistency 🫐
    Strain the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and create a silky-smooth glaze that drapes elegantly over the pound cake.
  • Prevent Cake Sticking 🧈
    Thoroughly grease and flour your bundt or loaf pan, or use parchment paper with overhang for easy cake removal without breaking.
  • Moisture Retention Trick 💦
    Brush the warm cake with a simple lemon syrup after baking to lock in moisture and intensify the citrus flavor throughout the pound cake.
