1. Baking is truly an art, and mastering the perfect lemon pound cake requires patience and attention to detail.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

2. Begin by carefully measuring out your ingredients, making sure to use fresh lemons for the ultimate lemon flavor.

3. The key to a moist and tender pound cake is to cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy, incorporating plenty of air.

4. Don't overmix your batter, as this can lead to a tough and dense cake. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

5. For a pop of color and flavor, add some lemon zest to the batter before baking. This will give your pound cake a beautiful hint of citrus.

6. To ensure a perfectly baked cake, preheat your oven and use a toothpick to test for doneness. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready!

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

7. While your cake is still warm, poke holes on the surface and drizzle with a lemon syrup to infuse even more lemon goodness.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

8. Let your pound cake cool completely before slicing to achieve clean and neat slices. Dust with powdered sugar for a classic finishing touch.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]
