Mildred’s Lemon Pound Cake

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Pat…I have not used the lemon zest but you could, I still think it would need the lemon extract as well. Good luck and a great weekend to you.

I am going to make this recipe this weekend, just wondering have you ever used lemon zest instead of the lemon extract or a combination of a little of both? Also have yu ever served it with a fruit topping such as blueberries or rasberries?

Hi Pat…I did not have a stand mixer at the time. She used an old Kitchen Aid mixer and and she beat everything longer than I had been doing and it turned out to be an entirely different cake than what I had been making. She also laid out her eggs, butter and milk and allowed them to come to room temp first before making the cake. We think it is the best pound cake ever!
