The ingredients are very simple. You will simply add these ingredients in any order with the exception of the extract. Always add flavorings or extracts LAST.
I also suggest that you always mix well after each egg. You cannot mess up with this recipe. Also, if you are making this cake with REAL lemon juice, you will need a considerable amount of juice.
You will need to add 6 tablespoons of juice or you can add 3 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. This is a very forgiving recipe so have fun with it.
Store the lemon pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
