Steps on How to Make this Easy Lemon Pound Cake Recipe
To begin, start with preheating your oven to 325 degrees while greasing your loaf pan. While the oven is preheating, begin to add your butter with sugar to a large mixing bowl. Start to cream the ingredients together at a high speed. Using an electric hand mixer is helpful for this step, although it can be done by hand. Start to add eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well after each. Once done, slowly mix in the flour and milk to the batter. Don't stop until the mixture is smoothe.
Next, once you have your batter, pour it into your greased loaf pan. Bake for a total 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick in the poundcake, and it comes out clean. After baking, let the poundcake cool for at least 15 minutes until removing it from the loaf pan.
Finally, the lemon glaze for pound cake can be done while the cake is in the oven to save time. Add 2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 cup confectioners' sugar to a small bowl and mix them together. You should stop once reaching a frosting consistency, if needed adding more lemon juice can help to thin the mixture. If the mixture is too thin, then add more sugar. Once everything is completed drizzle the glaze over your poundcake for the ultimate dessert!
