Lemon Vanilla Pound Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that the cake releases easily from the pan once it's baked.
3
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl of moderate size, combine three essential dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for the time being.
4
In a large mixing vessel, combine two key ingredients: sugar and butter. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these items until they achieve a light, fluffy texture.
5
Now, introduce one egg at a time into the mixing vessel, ensuring that each addition is thoroughly incorporated before proceeding to the next.
6
Add a couple of drops of citrus flavoring, specifically lemon extract, and a pinch of vanilla essence to the mixture.
7
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture in small batches, alternating with buttermilk, and blend the batter briefly after each addition.
8
Pour the prepared batter into your greased tube pan.
9
Bake the cake in the preheated oven until it starts to detach itself from the sides of the pan, approximately 90 minutes.
10
Please refrain from opening the oven door until at least one hour has passed.
11
Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
