Yes, it is true, this cake was named Pound cake due to it's ingredients consisting of a pound of this and a pound of that...hence should it be the Grams cake due to metric conversion?
Oven temp: 180C
Ingreds: 250 g butter, 250 g caster sugar, 3-4 eggs (depending on size), 1 tspn vanilla extract, zest of 2 lemons, 250 g SR flour,
Icing: Philadelphia cheese (approx half a block or 1 tub of cheese), lemon juice, icing sugar.
Butter, flour and line a square cake tin with baking paper. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream. Add eggs, one at a time, then the lemon zest and vanilla. Sift the flour and fold it in to the mix. Pour out into prepared tin. Cook for 40-50 mins until golden on top and knife returns clean when poked into centre of cake. (This cake can be frozen prior to icing).
Icing: Mix cheese and a couple of tablespoons of juice and enough icing sugar to give you are firm icing consistency. Ice cake when cooled. Absolutely delicious!
