The Sourdough Slice

Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning.

Hey Reader,

Summer and lemon desserts are a match made in heaven, don’t you think? 🍋✨

If you haven’t tried my sourdough lemon pound cake yet, it’s a must this season.

Soft, moist, and bursting with fresh lemon zest and a hint of lemon extract—it’s a perfect way to use up your sourdough discard.

I love serving it simply with homemade whipped cream or sourdough ice cream and fresh berries.

And for summer parties? It makes an incredible layered trifle that always wows guests. (I’m planning a lemon berry trifle for the 4th of July this year!) 🍓🫐

More of a cookie person? Try my sourdough lemon cookies instead—they’re bright, tangy, and just as easy to make.

Hope you enjoy! ☺️

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on Pinterest. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💛

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
Hand Mixer - Makes mixing the batter quick and effortless.
Aluminum Loaf Pan - Conducts heat well for even baking.
Aluminum Baking Sheets - They bake evenly and help the bottoms get perfectly golden and crisp.
