    Lemon Pound Cake Recipe

    Lemon Pound Cake Recipe

    I love pound cake and it so easy to make with this lemon pound cake recipe that there is no reason to ever use a boxed mix again! The best thing is, aside from possibly the lemon, you probably already have everything you need to make it right in your pantry or refrigerator!

    Now, I happen to love the taste of lemon, so I added that flavor to this recipe. If lemon isn't your "thing", simply omit the lemon juice, extract and zest and increase the vanilla extract to 1 tsp.

    I actually like to make a few loaves of these whenever I decided to have a "baking day" and just freeze the extras.  I will either wrap the entire loaf well in clear wrap and then place it in a freezer bag....or slice it down and wrap the individual slices (or both).  Freezing it in slices makes it easy to just pull out the right amount of cake for dessert or to use in a trifle like my 4th of July Trifle dessert!

    Anyway - on to the pound cake recipe...
