Orange Pound Cake

Orange Pound Cake made with Orange Avenue Wit from Coronado Brewing Co. drizzled with an Orange Glaze.

Apparently, this pound cake was a hit. I can tell from the empty plate of crumbs leftover at the end of the night, everyone enjoyed it. I was kind of sad when I noticed it was all gone. I had plans to have a slice Saturday morning with my coffee. I guess I’ll just have to make another loaf!

Friday night, we hosted a few friends for a bottle share with some of the beers we brought back from San Diego. I decided to make this pound cake with the a Coronado Brewing Co. beer to keep with the San Diego theme. When I looked up the address for Coronado, I noticed it was on Orange Avenue… hence the name Orange Avenue Wit {I used the wrong beer bottle in my pictures. Oops!}

The fresh orange zest is a must in this recipe. It adds so much extra flavor to the cake. The orange glaze on top added a pop of flavor and extra sweetness.

For the beer, I used the Wit style. It had citrus and a honey taste to it. This beer did have a subtle coriander taste, but it did not affect the taste of the pound cake. I recommend using something light in flavor. I’d avoid hoppy or bitter beers {I feel like I’m always saying that!}. A wheat beer would be a great/safe option.

Other Beers to Try:

  • Ruby Redbird- Shiner
  • Tangerine Wheat Ale- Lost Coast Brewery
  • Orange Wheat- Hanger 24 Craft Brewery
  • Summer Ale- Samuel Adams
