What you need for this dessert

This lemon pound cake recipe is a very easy to make and it is prepared with simple ingredients and just the right amount to get that pound cake like texture. And my little secret ingredient that gives it that perfect balance between sweet and tart is the sour cream.

• Flour : all-purpose flour, measure the quantities with a kitchen scale because the flour plays an important role to have a very tender cake.
• Butter : with a well softened texture but not melted, it gives this rich and dense texture.
• Sugar: white powdered sugar and do not use flavored sugar such as brown sugar or cane sugar which can alter the taste of the lemon (the amount of sugar is important because it stabilizes the acidity of the lemon, if you want to reduce the amount of sugar then also reduce the amount of lemon juice a bit)

• Eggs: large eggs room temperature, this is important to obtain a homogeneous paste.
• Zest and fresh Lemons juice: They contribute to the flavor of this cake, use the zest and lemon juice of untreated and organic lemons preferably.
• Sour cream: full-fat sour cream helps balance the taste and adds softness to the cake. You can replace it with buttermilk or Greek yogurt.
• Baking powder: for more fluffiness.
• Salt and vanilla extract: Salt helps bring out all the flavors. And the vanilla adds a delicious aroma to this cake.
