I like to bake but I always welcome having a few recipes that call for everything to be dumped in the mixing bowl and going from there. This is such a recipe. Within minutes, you will have a cake in the oven and look like the Kitchen Maven.
Quick and Easy Pound Cake
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup softened butter
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Blend on a low speed of your mixer and then beat to mix thoroughly, about 3-4 minutes. Spread into a vegetable-oil sprayed Bundt or angel food tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 60 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes and then remove to cooking rack to finish cooling.
Finishing touches . . .
Dust with powdered sugar.
Combine powdered sugar with a bit of cocoa powder and cinnamon to dust the cake.
Combine a cup of powdered sugar and enough orange or lemon juice to make a glaze.
Serve slices with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
Have it plain with a good cup of coffee!
