I love the smell of lemon-scented goodies, especially when its baking in my oven and it fills my kitchen with a clean and fresh lemony aroma. I was left with half a cup of sour cream after making nachos, and it had to be used up before expiration. After doing some recipe searching, I thought the sour cream would add a lovely texture and richness to my butter pound cake, and this lemon tea cake was created.
A delicate crumb, soft, rich and buttery with a hint of fresh lemon. The maple glaze adds a subtle sweetness and compliments the cake well. It is a really simple cake to make, and can be baked in a loaf pan, or as cupcakes with a lemon frosting or a torched meringue, the options are endless.
Hope you enjoy baking and sharing this cake with your family !! Be creative, and maybe make it an orange cake next time.
