Check out this beautiful pound cake, all golden and delicious! Trust me, it’s going to be the star of the show!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Salt to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes, so don’t rush it!
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and lemon juice. Start and finish with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix; we want it tender!
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, simply mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle it over the top of the cooled pound cake.
And there you have it! A lemon pound cake that’s moist, zesty, and oh so delicious! Slice it up and enjoy it with your friends and family. They might be asking for seconds—or even thirds! Happy baking!
