Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Pound Cake Delight.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until blended.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and lemon zest together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is fluffy again, being careful not to overheat the butter.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 6
Gradually add the flour mixture and the milk mixture alternately to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 70 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Once baked, run a table knife around the edges of the cake and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
