One Step Pound Cake

It's finally June, and I’m excited to share another family recipe with you all: a super simple one step pound cake with a slight hint of citrus. This dessert is perfect for the summer season, whether you're bringing it to a dinner party, baking it for a friend, or simply enjoying it yourself.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 c flour

• 2 c sugar

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 c softened butter

• 1 c sour cream or mandarin orange yogurt

• 3 eggs

• 1 tsp grated lemon peel (optional)

What to do

• preheat over at 325 degrees fahrenheit

• combine in large mixer bowl & blend at a low speed

• beat for 3 min at medium speed

• pour into a greased and floured bundt pan

• bake for 60-70 min until top of cake springs back when touched lightly in center

• cool cake upright pan 15 min

• remove pan & cool completely

• optional but i’d recommend: top with icing & garnishes of your choice (I chose to do a lemon icing to stick with the citrus theme & topped it with edible sparkles and dried citrus slices.)
