2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for lemon curd. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the lemon curd: Lemon curd should be cooked until it is thick and coats the back of a spoon, but it should not be overcooked, or it will become grainy.
  • Let the lemon curd cool completely before using it: Lemon curd needs to cool completely before it is used in a pound cake, or it will make the cake soggy.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the best type of pan to use for a pound cake because it allows the heat to circulate evenly, resulting in a evenly cooked cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Lemon curd pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the best lemon curd pound cake possible.
