The soft lemon pound cake is delicate and lemon-scented. A very simple and really quick recipe, its preparation is done without a planetary mixer or electric beater but entirely by hand. I usually make this pound cake when visiting my mom because she really likes the smell of lemons; she also loves the lemon caprese and when I prepare it, I immediately set aside a slice for her.
The lemon pound cake is the Sunday morning breakfast or a little extra indulgent snack because this recipe has butter, but every now and then it’s okay.👌
Well, this is the recipe, let’s prepare it together.
See you soon, Susy.
