 Categories: Cakes, Citrus, Desserts
      Yield: 2 servings

MMMMM-------------------------LEMON CAKE------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Cake flour
  1 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Salt
  2 1/4 c  Sugar
      8 lg Eggs; room temp
    1/4 c  Grated lemon zest (from
           - about 4 lemons)
    1/4 c  Fresh lemon juice
      2 c  Unsalted butter; melted,
           - cooled
    1/2 c  Sour cream; room temp
      2 ts Pure vanilla extract

MMMMM------------------------LEMON SYRUP-----------------------------
    1/3 c  Fresh lemon juice
    1/3 c  Sugar

MMMMM----------------------LEMON GLAZE (OPT---------------------------
      2 c  Confectioners' sugar; sifted
           - or more
      6 tb Fresh lemon juice

  MAKE THE LEMON CAKES: Preheat the oven to 350+.F/175+.C.

 Spray the sides and bottom of two 9" by 5" by 3" loaf pans
  with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with
  parchment paper and spray the paper.

  Sift both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
  together in a medium bowl.

  Put the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a food
  processor and pulse until combined. With the motor
  running, drizzle the butter in through the feed tube. Add
  the sour cream and vanilla and pulse until combined.
  Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

  Sprinkle the flour mixture, one third at a time, folding
  gently after each addition until just combined. Do not
  overmix.

  Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake
  in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, rotate the pans,
  reduce the oven temperature to 325+.F/163+.C, and bake for
  another 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in
  the center of the loaf comes out clean.

  Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.

  MEANWHILE, MAKE THE LEMON SYRUP: In a small saucepan over
  medium heat, heat the lemon juice and sugar until the
  sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, continue to
  cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set
  aside.

  Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and invert the
  loaves onto the pan. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the
  tops and sides of the loaves.

  Brush the tops and sides of the loaves with the lemon
  syrup. Let the syrup soak into the cake and brush again.
  Let the cakes cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

  (The soaked but unglazed loaves will keep, wrapped in two
  layers of plastic wrap and frozen, for up to 6 weeks.)

  IF YOU LIKE, MAKE THE LEMON GLAZE: In a small bowl, whisk
  together the confectioners' sugar and 4 tablespoons of the
  lemon juice. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If
  the mixture is too stiff, add up to another 2 tablespoons
  lemon juice and whisk again, adding small amounts of lemon
  juice and/or confectioners' sugar until you get the right
  consistency. Pour the lemon glaze over the top of each
  loaf and let it drip down the sides. Let the lemon glaze
  harden, about 15 minutes, before serving.

  The glazed loaves will keep for up to 3 days, wrapped
  tightly in plastic wrap, at room temperature.

  BAKED NOTE: For zesting purposes, we always recommend
  using an organic fruit, free of chemicals or pesticides
  that might reside deep in the rind.
