Steps:
- Weigh out your ingredients using a scale instead of using measuring cups for a more accurate recipe and bring your butter, eggs and buttermilk to room temperature. This is important, they should all be on the warm side to create a good texture.
- Heat oven to 350ºF and prepare a 5"x9" metal loaf pan with cake goop or another preferred pan release.
- Sift together your cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the lemon extract and lemon zest to the buttermilk and set aside
- Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light, white and fluffy. 2-3 minutes.
- While mixing on low, add in your room temperature eggs, one at a time, letting each mix in fully before you add in the next.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg mixture while mixing on low, then add 1/2 of the buttermilk and mix until barely combined.
- Add in 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 the buttermilk mixture, and the rest of your flour, then the rest of the buttermilk mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix.
- Pour your batter into a prepared 5"x9" loaf pan and bake at 350ºF for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly. If you use a glass pan, bake for an extra 10 minutes.
- Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan until barely warm and then remove it from the pan to cool completely on a cooling rack before making the lemon glaze.
- Combine powdered sugar, salt, and buttermilk powder and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth
- Mix in the soft butter until smooth and creamy
- Place the pound cake on a cooling rack and then onto another pan to catch the glaze runoff.
- Pour your glaze over the top of your cooled lemon pound cake and garnish with fresh lemon slices if you desire.
- Transfer your finished pound cake to a serving platter and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Dust with sugar, and tap out excess; set aside. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir together 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the milk.
- Put butter and 3/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs and zest. Working in two batches, alternate mixing in flour mixture and milk mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Upon removing cake from oven, immediately brush with lemon glaze. Let cake cool in pan 10 minutes. Unmold cake. Brush remaining glaze on top. Garnish with zest.
Tips:
- To achieve a smooth batter, ensure the butter and buttermilk are at room temperature before mixing.

- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set and prevent it from becoming runny.
