How to Make Lemon Verbena Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch loaf pans, or five small loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (Use an electric mixer for best results).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon verbena extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the lemon zest.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes (two large loaf pans) or 30 minutes (five small loaf pans), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
