This was found at www.plainchicken.com . One of my favorite dessert foods. Nothing like plaine lemon pound cake and an ice cold glass of milk!
Lemon Pound Cake
This recipe is from the Ritz Carlton Cooking School I went to back in August. I've been working my way through some of my favorite dishes at home, and this lemon pound cake was the first recipe I attempted. I loved the cake when we had it at cooking school, and I wanted to share it with Chicken Legs.
The cake turned out fantastic! It tasted just like it did at cooking school. It had a great lemon flavor without being overwhelming. This is going to be my "go-to" pound cake from now on. We served it with a big scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Perfection!
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shortening, room temperature
5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
6 Tbsp lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
