Lately, I have been experimenting with oil-free baking. As daunting as it is, there are some genuinely amazing plant-based products out there that make cooking with whole foods even easier. After I conquered biscuits, the next thing on my list was Lemon Pound Cake.I love the taste of lemon-flavored foods. There’s something about the lemon’s tartness that adds a freshness that I don’t find from any other fruit.This recipe for Lemon Pound Cake is my new favorite brunch-friendly summer dessert. Light, sweet, and full of lemon flavor, this will be your new favorite cake recipe. The lemon flavor from the cake, syrup, and glaze come together to make a moist and crumbly cake. The best part? This cake gets better with time, so feel free to make it ahead of time. Just try to resist eating it before you’re supposed to!
