Lemon Coconut Glazed Pound Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Coconut Glazed Pound Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take an 8x5-inch loaf pan and give it a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your cake slides out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of white whole wheat flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.

4. Step 4

   This blend will create a lovely texture for your loaf.

5. Step 5

   Now, in a separate small bowl, combine soy milk and apple cider vinegar, letting it sit for a few minutes to curdle—this will add a delightful tang to your cake.

6. Step 6

   Next, grab your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat the coconut oil until it’s creamy and inviting.

7. Step 7

   Slowly add in the sugar, continuing to mix on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, filling your kitchen with a sweet aroma.

8. Step 8

   Lower the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully blended before introducing the next.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to capture all that goodness.

10. Step 10

    Now, gently mix in the curdled soy milk and vanilla extract on low speed until everything is just combined.

11. Step 11

    It’s time to bring in the flour mixture—add it gradually, about half a cup at a time, mixing on low speed until your batter is smooth and well blended.

12. Step 12

    Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to ensure a beautiful rise.

13. Step 13

    Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for 60 to 70 minutes.

14. Step 14

    You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling a perfectly baked loaf.

15. Step 15

    Once baked, carefully place the pan on its side on a wire rack and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.

16. Step 16

    This little resting period helps the cake settle before you remove it from the pan.

17. Step 17

    While your cake cools, let’s whip up a simple glaze.

18. Step 18

    In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and a splash of lemon juice until it’s smooth and glossy.

19. Step 19

    If you prefer a thicker or thinner glaze, feel free to adjust the consistency with a bit more sugar or milk.

20. Step 20

    Once your cake has cooled, drizzle the luscious glaze over the top, letting it cascade down the sides.

21. Step 21

    For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top.

22. Step 22

    Now, step back and admire your creation—this delightful loaf is not just a treat for the taste buds but a feast for the eyes as well.
