Lemon Pound Cake with Becel®

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Pound Cake with Becel®.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) 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 large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the Becel® Salted Plant-Based Bricks and sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

4. Step 4

   Then, stir in the fragrant grated lemon peel and a pinch of salt to brighten the flavors.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to gently fold in the all-purpose flour.

6. Step 6

   Mix on low speed just until everything is combined—remember, we want to keep it tender, so don’t overdo it! Once your batter is ready, spoon it evenly into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out with love.

7. Step 7

   Place the pan in your preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour.

8. Step 8

   Keep an eye on it; if the top starts to brown too much, simply cover it loosely with aluminum foil and let it bake for an extra 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack.

10. Step 10

    After that, gently remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely.

11. Step 11

    If you’re feeling a little extra, drizzle a delightful lemon glaze over the top before serving.
