Lemon Mascarpone Pound Cake

May 8, 2020

One of the easiest cheeses to make is Mascarpone which is a decadent, creamy, and mild dessert cheese made famous by Tiramisu.  But even if you don’t make the cheese yourself, you can still make this delicious spring-time dessert with store-bought Mascarpone.  This recipe was shared with me by a student of my very first 7 Day Cheese Challenge, Jacque Phillips and this is her homemade version pictured here.  The original recipe came from Sweetrecipes.com but I’ve made some slight changes and alternative options here.
Ingredients:
  • 3 sticks (or 1 1/2 cups) of Butter
  • 8 oz. of Mascarpone cheese (homemade or store-bought)
  • 3 cups All-Purpose or Cake Flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 cups of sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup whipping cream, half-n-half, or buttermilk
  • Zest of two lemons
  • 1 tsp. lemon extract or 1 oz of fresh lemon juice
  • Glaze:
  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 2-4 TBSP of fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan or a 9-11 sheet pan with baking spray.
  3. Bring Butter and Mascarpone to room temperature in one bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and salt using a fork or whisk.
  5. Beat the Butter and Mascarpone with a mixer until smooth and well blended.
  6. Slowly add the sugar to the butter batter and continue mixing until light and fluffy.
  7. Add the eggs to batter, stirring in and scraping sides to make sure they are well-blended.
  8. Add 1/3 of the flour and salt to the butter mixture blending well.
  9. Then and 1/3 of the cream or buttermilk, blending well.
  10. Continue alternating flour and cream until it is all well blended.
  11. Add lemon zest and lemon extract or lemon juice and stir until incorporated.
  12. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  13. Bake for 90 minutes for bundt pan or 65-75 minutes for sheet pan or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean.
  14. Once completely cooled, drizzle with the lemony glaze.

Enjoy for Easter, Mother’s Day, or any time you want a delicious treat!
