Trisha Yearwood's Lemon Pound Cake

On Sunday, look for a story on country music star Trisha Yearwood's cookbook, "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen."

It's a great book. A cook's book. It's published by Clarkson Potter, the publishing house behind the Barefoot Contessa books and other beautifully photographed and designed books.

Many cookbooks come across my desk. Some are pretty to look at, but are hardly practical. This book is both pretty and practical.

I have made several recipes from it... baked macaroni and cheese, creamed peas, cabbage and lemon pound cake. All were good, homey recipes.

I've made the pound cake twice, and both times it turned out delicious. Like all pound cakes, it's better the second day, so keep your hands off, if you can.

Lemon Pound Cake
Serves 12
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 cup buttermilk, well shaken

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

2. Sift the flour together with the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and shortening together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beat an additional 5 minutes.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating only until the yolks disappear into the batter. Add the vanilla, lemon juice and zest.

4. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl and beat only until well-blended. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then turn the cake out of the pan while it is still warm. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Hello Natalie, we read you article on Trish and we would like to see if we can talk to you or Trish about The taste of Oklahoma event. Natalie, we are trying to launch a yearly event similar to taste of Dallas or taste of Chicago. I don't know if you are familiar with such events, but most of these food tasting events are very popular and they draw thousands of people. Our event will be similar to those but it will focus on Oklahoma food culture, products, unique restaurants, people, places and spaces. Please visit our site
We are searching for biz or individuals who would like to participate or be part of the taste and we would like to ask Trish about having her book there or be a guest. Should you have any questions, pleas call at 405-478-7675 and my speak with Lynda Speller . Thank you very much.

When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
