Four Citrus Pound Cake
Cake Ingredients:
1 grapefruit
1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
1 1/4 cups LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups cake flour*
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients:
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
1 tablespoon reserved grapefruit juice
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Grated grapefruit, lemon, lime and/or orange peel, if desired
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 9 to 12-cup Bundt® pan or 10-inch angel
food cake (tube) pan. Set aside.
Grate peel from grapefruit, lemon, lime and orange. Place 2 teaspoons each
grapefruit, lemon, lime and orange peel in small bowl; add milk and 1 tablespoon
grapefruit juice. Mix well.
Combine butter and sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping
bowl occasionally, until creamy (2 to 3 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition (1 to 2 minutes). (Mixture will appear
curdled.)
Stir together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another
small bowl. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, alternately with
milk mixture, beating just until moistened after each addition (2 to 3 minutes).
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pan on wire rack 10 minutes.
Remove from pan. Cool completely.
Combine 2 tablespoons melted butter and reserved 1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
in small bowl. Add powdered sugar; stir until well mixed. (Add 1 to 2
tablespoons additional grapefruit juice, if necessary, to reach desired glazing
consistency.) Drizzle over cooled cake. Sprinkle with grated peel, if desired.
Makes 16 servings.
*Substitute 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour.
