Easy Lemon Pound Cake with Glaze - Drive Me Hungry ### Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
Mix the buttermilk and lemon juice together, and then alternately add this mixture and the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled cake.

And there you go! A delightful Lemon Pound Cake that’s sure to steal the show at any gathering. Serve it up with some fresh berries or enjoy it just by itself. Can’t wait for y’all to try it out!
