An awesomely delicious pound cake that has a syrup poured over the bottom and a glazed topping where else but on top. There's alot of prep but the flavor is worth the effort. I found this on the internet.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white sugar shopping list
- 1 cup butter shopping list
- 6 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup sour cream shopping list
- 3 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 cup apricot brandy shopping list
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest shopping list
- 1 cup white sugar shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- 1/4 cup peach schnapps shopping list
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest shopping list
- 1/2 cup apricot brandy shopping list
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest shopping list
- 1 cup apricot or peach preserves shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the lemon zest and sour cream. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the brandy. Put the batter into the prepared tube pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake will spring back to the touch when done. To make the syrup, use the second set of ingredients. Combine the sugar, water, peach schnapps, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack. Place cake in the upside down position, and place a cookie sheet under the wire rack. Poke holes in the bottom of the cake with a fork. Pour the syrup over the entire cake, until all of the syrup is absorbed. Let cake stand for a few minutes.
- To make the topping for the cake, use the third set of ingredients. In a small saucepan, combine the apricot or peach preserves, apricot brandy and lemon zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute. Turn the cake over onto a serving plate, drizzle the warm glaze over the top. Serve warm or cooled.
