Limón is Spanish for the yellow, juicy, and citrus lemon! Its snappy flavor makes it the perfect summertime ingredient for desserts. There is nothing as fresh, clean and pure as a lemon cake made from scratch! I spent a day out in Hampton Bays with my dear friend, Dee Hutton, and she sure did bake to impress. She showed up with her crowd pleasing, zest for life and lemon pound cake! Truly loved by all, this is the only lemon pound cake you’ll ever desire thereafter. With its moist texture and rich citrus flavor, trust me, you too will be hooked upon tasting. Feel free to pair it with some fresh raspberries or blackberries. It’s pure culinary magic! The fresh lemon zest gives this dessert a refreshing tang. Make it soon…you’re a bite away to fresh love and a happy day with friends! xoxo Denise Cake: Icing: Cake: In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice, lemon peel and lemon extract. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream until combined. Pour into greased and floured 10” tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
