Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 10

Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Allow it to set for about 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish the cake with a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra flavor and presentation.

Step 12

Serve slices of the glazed lemon pound cake with tea, coffee, or as a dessert, and enjoy!
