Elderflower Pound Cake With Lemon-Elderflower Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) salted butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- 3 cups (about 12 3/4 oz.) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
- 1 cup elderflower tonic water (such as Fever Tree)
- Shortening, for greasing pan
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Beat butter on medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Stir in liqueur and zest.
- Add flour and tonic water alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour, beating on low speed just until blended after each addition. Pour batter into a greased (with shortening) and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. (Tent with aluminum foil after 45 to 50 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.)
- Cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; invert cake onto rack, and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spoon Lemon-Elderflower Glaze over cake.
