Lemon pound cake donuts are a delightful treat that combines the soft, fluffy texture of pound cake with the bright, zesty flavor of fresh lemons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream and milk.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled donuts.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • Donuts can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.
