How to Make Another Good Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 pound (4 cups) powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 45 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
