lemon pudding pound cake recipe

A delightful twist on the classic pound cake, this lemon pudding pound cake is incredibly moist and bursting with citrus flavor, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) lemon pudding mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk is best for richness)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (for an extra zing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan by greasing it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the fresh lemon juice and zest.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • For extra insurance against sticking, dust the greased pan with a little flour.
  • Check the cake at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
  • If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
