Repeat adding the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, beating well after each addition, and ending with the flour mixture. Stir lemon juice, pudding & zest into batter. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
- 4. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cake platter or plate.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for lemon pound cake. Bottled lemon juice and zest can be used in a pinch, but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and tender cake. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar, preventing a grainy texture in the cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time: Adding the eggs one at a time helps to prevent the batter from curdling. Be sure to mix each egg in completely before adding the next one.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (325 degrees F) for 60-70 minutes. Baking the cake at too high a temperature can cause the cake to brown too quickly and become dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake to set and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This moist lemon pound cake recipe is easy to follow and results in a delicious, moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright lemon flavor and tender crumb, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
