Blend, pour, and bake!

Name: Whole lemon blender lemon pound cake
Ingredients: 1 whole lemon, washed, seeds removed and chopped; 3 eggs; 1/3 cup yogurt or sour cream; ½ cup (115g) soft or melted butter (not hot); 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 cups (280g) plain (all-purpose) flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; ¾ cup (200g) caster sugar; ¾ cup icing sugar (powdered sugar); 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

We know we keep saying the Vibe blender is about more than just making smoothies, but this cake is another great example. Forget zesting, juicing and complicated baking steps. With this recipe, you simply add all the ingredients to the blender jug, including a whole lemon – peel, pith and all.

The result is a wonderfully simple pound cake with just the right amount of sweetness. Blending a whole lemon into the batter gives the cake a deliciously bold, tangy lemon flavour, while the Vibe does all the mixing for you. In just a couple of minutes, the batter is ready to pour into the tin and bake, with just one jug to clean afterwards.

Whole Lemon Blender Lemon Pound Cake is perfect when you want something homemade without the fuss. Whether you’re an experienced baker looking to save time or a beginner who likes the idea of simply throwing everything into a blender, this is one cake that makes baking wonderfully simple.

The lemon glaze adds a little extra sweetness that balances the tartness of the cake. For a less-sweet finish, simply dust the cooled cake with sifted icing sugar instead. Either way, the loaf is delicious spread with butter or served with a dollop of yogurt!
