Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Oil Pound Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, take a moment to prepare your 10-inch fluted tube pan, like a classic Bundt pan, by greasing and flouring it to ensure your cake releases beautifully later on.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then set this aside for now.
Step 4
Next, grab a mixing cup and combine the sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Step 5
Give it a good stir until everything is well blended.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, coconut oil, and softened butter using medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Now, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
Step 7
Don’t forget to stir in the fresh lemon zest for that delightful citrus kick.
Step 8
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture and the sour cream mixture into the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the flour.
Step 9
Mix just until everything is combined; we want to keep that fluffiness! Pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Step 10
Place it in the oven and let it bake for about 1 and a half hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean—this is the moment of anticipation! While your cake is baking, whip up the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a bit of lemon zest in a bowl.
Step 11
Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently turning it out onto a plate.
Step 12
Spoon half of that zesty glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
Step 13
After letting the cake cool for 20 to 30 minutes, drizzle the remaining glaze over the top before serving.
Step 14
Enjoy every slice of this delightful creation, and savor the compliments that are sure to come your way!.
