LEMON WHIPPING CREAM POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and flour a tube pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
• In a separate bowl whisk the cake flour, salt, and baking powder for 30 seconds to combine. Set aside for later.
• Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until lighten in color and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until the yellow of the yolk blends in.
• Add the whipping cream, lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest to a measuring cup or bowl.
• Add the flour mixture alternately with the whipping cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. We do three additions of the flour mixture and two of the whipping cream mixture.
• Pour or spoon the batter into a prepared tube pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs attached.) Baking times can vary and so peek in as it approaches the 1 hour mark. If the top of the cake begins to get too dark, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
• This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of batter.
• Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning out onto serving plate.
• Combine sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and stir until smooth.
• Drizzle over the pound cake. (I spooned mine into a piping bag with the tip snipped away for more control.) Sprinkle lemon zest over the top.

FRESH LEMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. (I change to a whisk when the mixture starts to get thick.) Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
• Place half the egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. Place the cream in the same bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (no need to clean the bowl) and beat on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon curd, and pour into a 7-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep souffle dish. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices that have been cut into quarters. Chill and serve cold.
• Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms still peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
