Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, beat together the sugar, butter, and vanilla until creamy. Add the eggs and mix for 30-60 seconds.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Make the glaze: Stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until a runny glaze forms. Thin with water if needed or thicken with additional powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the cake with the glaze and let set.
Notes
- Storage: Store lemon pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For quickness and ease, use a stand or electric hand mixer to make the cake batter. You can do it by hand, but make sure that everything is well combined.
- Use room temperature ingredients to make this recipe. They will combine more easily and result in a more even texture throughout the cake.
