Lemon Pound Cake
Bright Lemon Pound Cake is a summery quick bread infused with fresh lemon zest and juice for vibrant citrus flavor in every bite. It’s buttery rich, with a soft and moist crumb, finished with a light lemon syrup that soaks in for extra flavor and topped with a simple vanilla glaze for an inviting sweet finish.
This is one of those classic, foolproof cakes that’s just as fitting for a spring brunch as it is for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert. It’s easy to prepare and is brimming with lemon flavor throughout.
Not only is it baked with a generous two tablespoons lemon zest swirled throughout the loaf, but after it has baked, it’s brushed with a zingy lemon simple syrup. Then to polish it off it’s finished with a vanilla cream glaze—and that’s where it really is taken over the top.
Need I say more? If you’re a lemon lover, this lively lemon pound cake is sure to become a new favorite. The hardest part for you is just waiting for it to cool before slicing into that first decadently delicious piece!
