Lemon Almond Milk Pound Cake
The Lemon Almond Milk Pound Cake combines almond milk and coconut oil with bright lemon zest and juice to create a moist and tender loaf. The cake’s dense crumb is balanced by a sweet tart glaze made of powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, topped with sliced almonds for subtle crunch. Its rich lemon flavor and soft texture make it a pleasant option for an afternoon snack or a light dessert.
