Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time50 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American, Filipino

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • 6x3 Inch Mini Loaf Tin

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Butter at Room Temperature
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs at Room Temperature
  • ½ Cup Milk at Room Temperature
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Kalamansi Juice

Kalamansi Glaze

  • ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Kalamansi Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Milk (or any vegan milk)

Instructions

  • Pre-Heat the oven to 350F and spray and line the loaf tin with parchment paper.
  • First mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.  Set that to the side.  In another small bowl combine the milk, kalamansi juice and vanilla essence.  Note it will start to curdle because of the milk and kalamansi juice sitting together.  Don’t worry!  It will come back together in the batter.
  • Next cream together the sugar and butter until light in color and fluffy.  Add the eggs after incorporating one at a time.  Scrape down the bowl and whisk in the milk mixture and mix until there are no lumps.  Finally add in the flour mixture and fold in lightly until you don’t see any more flour.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 45-50 minutes.  To check if the loaf is fully baked stick a long skewer down the middle.  If there is still uncooked batter on the stick when you pull it out, keep baking in 5 minute increments until the skewer is nice and clean when you check it.
  • Take the loaf out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then unmold and cool on a wire rack fully.

Make The Kalamansi Glaze

  • Just before serving the cake make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk and kalamansi juice together.  It should be slightly runny as it’s just going to be a light glaze.
  • Place a plate under the wire rack and pour the glaze all over the Kalamansi Pound Cake.

How To Serve

  • Slice into thin slices and eat on it's own or top with some ice cream.
