I am not a cake baker by nature. We were celebrating the end of a
research study and my work partner in crime (self-described Southern
belle) asked, "Can you make lemon pound cake? Do you have a recipe for
it?" The aforementioned SDSB's idea of cooking is microwaving edamame.
I found a recipe in the vintage 1998 Joy of Cooking. It only called for
2 sticks of butter, so I referred to it as a "half pound cake". It took
a good long time for the eggs to emulsify the butter. How did our
foremothers make these cakes without the benefit of a heavy-duty stand
mixer? My grandmother, the former home ec teacher, must have had
serious biceps in her heyday. The cake turned out very good, if I do
say so myself. The SDSB asked for a glaze, but I opted not to gild the
lily. The team wolfed down most of the cake. SO finished off the last
piece tonight.
