Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. You will then grease your bundt pan, mine was a 6 cup size.
  • Dust with flour in the pan and shake off any excess flour in the pan.
  • In a bowl, you will add your flour, baking powder and salt together. Set this bowl aside.
  • Now in a stand mixer, you will want to cream your butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and mix well. This will take 2-5 minutes. Then turn the blender to low, and add in one egg at a time, followed by your vanilla.
  • Now alternate adding in your dry flour mix, and then a bit of the lemon juice, and repeat ending with the wet.
  • Once mixed well, pour into your floured pan. Bake for 30-45 minutes. This will vary on how your cake takes to cook. Stick a toothpick in and when it comes out clean you know your cake is done.
  • Once your cake is done you will allow to cool for a bit in the pan. Once the cake is cooled down for 30 minutes, you can take a nice and run along the lemon bundt cake edge. This will help release any cake on the sides.
  • Flip it over onto a baking rack or plate and release from pan.
  • Now in a bowl make your lemon glaze for the lemon pound cake. Mix powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, just 2 tablespoons of lemon juice at a time. You might not use all the lemon juice.
  • Mix until it is a fully mixed and thicker consistency. Drizzle glaze on with a spoon. Slice and serve lemon pound cake.
