Lisa Sheinbaum’s Lemon Bobos

Do NOT preheat oven. Place a rack in the oven so the pops will sit in the center. Generously spray cake-pop pan (or 2 loaf pans) with baking spray. Sprinkle sugar evenly. Set aside. Combine cake flour and salt and pass through the sifter 3 times. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With mixer on medium low, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, lemon and orange zest. With mixer on low, add the flour mixture alternately with the cream, beginning and ending with flour. Increase speed to medium and beat 3 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and place in an UNHEATED oven. Turn the oven to 350 degrees and bake 45-55 minutes.

While cakes are in the oven, make the glaze. Combine water, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and place over medium heat, bringing to a boil. As soon as sugar dissolves, remove from heat and leave to cool down. As soon as cakes come out of the oven, brush with the syrup – use all the syrup! Let sit for 30 minutes and then enjoy.
