Рецепт Rustic Pound Cake with Meyer Maple Glaze
Rustic Pound Cake with Meyer Maple Glaze

A dense cake with a close crumb full of lemon flavor and drizzled with a glaze made with Meyer Lemon infused maple syrup. This Rustic Pound Cake with Meyer Maple Glaze is our new spring favorite dessert in the Grumpy household! It is also very easy to make and if you made my Waffled French Toast with Meyer Lemon Maple Syrup that I posted last week, then you have a good start on the recipe already!
The main reason I made this delicious, tempting and diet breaking dessert is because I had Meyer Lemon Maple Syrup in my fridge along with buttermilk that I did not want to go to waste. The maple syrup infused Meyer Lemon Slices were just screaming to be used as a decoration on a beautiful bundt cake.
The lemon slices had been soaking in the syrup for a good week. I just strained the syrup and laid the lemon slices out on a parchment lined baking sheet to let them air dry.
The very basic ingredients go into this recipe. Flour, sugar, salt, butter, buttermilk and a little leavening (baking soda).
While often times I will go the route of a hand mixer, for this pound cake I pulled out the Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Before you fill your bundt pan, especially if you use one that has as many little crevices in it as the one I used above, be sure to really grease the pan well and I highly suggest a little flour coating also. Alternatively, you could use the cooking spray for baking that has flour in the spray.
If you do what I did, which was, spray the pan generously with just cooking spray, while it may look beautiful while cooling, it will not come out of the pan easily.
That is why my cake became “rustic”! If you look close enough, you can see where I had to patch the cake a little lot.
Before drizzling the cake with my icing, I laid a piece of parchment paper down underneath the cooling rack to catch the drips.
By the way, while I was busy slaving away at this cake, everyone else in the house was either sleeping or relaxing. After I took a short break of my own. This was what I came back to….
Who of the three who were resting so peacefully or was intently watching TV could have done such a thing to my gorgeous slice of cake I was trying to photograph? Hmmm. I think it was the two legged animal!
Thankfully I had gotten this shot before the cake became “Grumpy approved!” If you haven’t decided what to make for a Mother’s Day dessert yet, then I highly recommend this recipe. It is easy to make without much fuss (unless you go the pan route I did!) and has wonderful spring flavors.
