When you buy a bag of Meyer lemons, you need to use that bag of Meyer lemons. \u00a0I made\u00a0these lovely lemon pudding cakes<\/a>\u00a0a few weeks ago and loved the flavor of the Meyer lemons, sweeter than a regular lemon but still tart. \u00a0How could I go wrong by using them in a lemon pound cake?<\/p>\n

I’ve been on a kick with\u00a0this cookbook<\/a>\u00a0lately. \u00a0It’s a great resource and it’s where I found the recipe for this pound cake. \u00a0I’ve made a\u00a0cold oven pound cake\u00a0<\/a>before that is really special, but is pretty involved, whipping egg whites and such. \u00a0This cake come together quickly and uses a food processor to mix the wet ingredients so that curdling isn’t an issue thanks to the quick mixing speed.<\/p>\n

You can make this pound cake in an 8-inch loaf pan or in mini loaf pans, which is what I chose to do so that I could give these as gifts. \u00a0I added lemon juice, lemon zest and poppy seeds to the classic pound cake recipe to make these cakes. \u00a0From what I can tell, this would create a fantastic plain pound cake as well and I’ll probably be trying it soon.<\/p>\n

The flavor of this cake is perfectly lemony. \u00a0The texture is light and the crust is slightly crunchy and totally delicious. I think it’s sugaring the pans, one of my favorite things to do with quick breads, and now with pound cake. \u00a0The small loaf pans allow you to have a small piece that still looks complete instead of cutting a larger piece in half. \u00a0I think these would be perfect for a brunch, bay shower, tea party, etc.<\/p>\n
