Yep, it’s P-Dub Wednesday again! Sorry we missed last week but things got kinda busy and not a whole lot of cooking was done!
Who doesn’t love pound cake? Seriously, you don’t? Ok, I don’t want you reading our blog anymore. Just kidding! This cake is really yummy. Crispy on the outside with a dense, moist inside that has a hint of lemon.
Is your mouth watering yet?
INGREDIENTS
3 sticks of butter
3 cups of sugar
5 whole eggs
1 teaspoon butter extract
2 teaspoons lemon extract
3 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup Sprite, 7-UP, or some other lemon-lime soda
Cooking spray
The cast of characters…
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream butter.
Measure out your sugar and add 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add the butter extract.
The the lemon extract and mix well.
Measure your flour, then add it 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Don’t do what I did and add too much too fast or your kitchen will look like a flour bomb has hit it!
Add the lemon-lime soda of your choice, then mix together until combined.
Yes the previous flour bomb really did happen. Survey the devastation!
Grab your cooking spray and spray your bundt pan really well.
Pour the batter into your well greased bundt pan.
So, the recipe says to bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, but I found that mine took 1 hour and 30 minutes. Now that I’m going through all these photos I realise that I actually added too much Sprite, so that probably contributed to my extra long baking time. My advice is to cook it for an hour, then start checking it every 5 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the cake is no longer jiggly.
Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan until the cake drops out. You may want to let it sit inverted for a bit to let it cool down some and make it easier to release.
Now we all hold our breath and pray that the cake is not stuck in the pan!
Well, it got a little stuck and I lost a bit of the top layer, but I got it out!
No I absolutely did not scrape those moist stuck bits out of the pan with my finger and eat them. What kind of a cook do you take me for?
Don’t answer that.
Enjoy!

Looks yum! Can you please tell me in grams, how much butter you used? Thanks!! xx
1 stick of butter is half a cup. I can check on the grams for you later if you still need them.
That’s cool. I can do the conversion for that! Thanks Sarah!
