beat

until fluffy. Notice the difference in texture and color once it's beaten?

Poundcakeg sift flour 

Sift the flour and

add to the butter mixture.

This is where I had a Nathalie Dupree flash back. I remember in her old t.v. shows she would sift flour onto waxed paper, well most of it got onto the paper. Then she added it to the mixer and the beaters would fling the flour all over the place. What a hoot she was. 

Poundcakei add vanilla lemon 

Next, lemon juice and vanilla is added.

Poundcakej add eggs 

Then the eggs, one at a time. You know what I'm going to say next, right. Mixing well after each addition.

Poundcakek batter into pan 

Pour batter into prepared pan. I don't have the bundt pan the recipe calls for, (I'll remedy that this weekend) so I used just a regular ol' cake pan.  

Poundcakel ready to bake 

Ready for the oven.

Poundcakem hot from oven 

As the cookbook says, Hot From The Oven.

Poundcakeo drizzle glaze

The recipe didn't call for a glaze but I couldn't resist. 

This is a moist, flavorful poundcake, and it's so stinkin' easy.
