Moist Sour Cream Lemon Pound Cake

This Sour Cream Lemon Pound Cake has the perfect amount of sweet and tart in one bite. It’s so moist and is perfect with breakfast or as a treat topped with your favorite fruit topping.
Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 240 grams Fresh-Milled Soft White Wheat Flour (or use all-purpose flour)
  • 20 grams Arrowroot Powder (or use cornstarch)
  • 200 grams Coconut Sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • 227 grams Grass-Fed Butter, unsalted
  • 4 Eggs
  • 70 grams Sour Cream, full-fat
  • 70 grams Buttermilk, full-fat
  • 30 grams Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 8-10 grams Lemon Zest
  • 6 grams Baking Powder
  • 3 grams Fine Salt
  • 5 grams Vanilla Extract

Method
 

  1. Beat butter and sugar in a stand-up mixer, using the paddle attachment. If using coconut sugar, mix for 3-4 minutes until it's nice and creamy. I like to use the 2 or 4 setting.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are all combined.
  3. Next, add all the liquids - sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until nice and creamy.
  4. Now, add the dry ingredients - flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  5. Lastly, fold in the lemon zest.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 8x4 pan. Alternatively, use parchment paper as a liner. It can also be easier to pull the loaf out once it is done cooling
  7. Bake in a 325° oven for 60-70 minutes. Insert a toothpick or cake tester to tell it it's done. If you see cake batter still on the tester, place it back in for five or six minutes.
  8. Allow to cool and then release the loaf from the pan.

Notes

  • If using all-purpose flour, it's a 1:1 ratio for swapping the fresh-milled flour.
  • The sour cream and buttermilk make this pound cake super moist.
  • The arrowroot powder lightens the crumb. Alternatively, corn starch can be used.
  • Coconut sugar gives you a nice caramel undertone and is less glycemic as opposed to white sugar.
