What do you do when you have so many fresh lemons that you don’t want to go bad? You make a delicious lemon pound cake! My mother in law’s sister had just went down to Arizona and brought back tons of lemons! She juices the lemons and freezes the juice for later for her tea.

She always so good to give us some lemons. I do love a good lemon in my Diet Coke but you can only use so many lemons that way. The cake was perfect solution for this fresh fruit.

TIPS AND TRICKS

PANS: I used a bundt cake but you can use a bread loaf pan or even mini bundt cakes.

SUGAR: Usually you dust your pan with flour, and if that’s your go to, go ahead, but I have found if you use granulated sugar instead of the flour, it makes a beautiful crunchy crust.

STORAGE: Make sure your cake is completely cool before preparing it for storage. Place in an airtight container. It will stay good up t o 3 to 5 days on the counter. You can also freeze it up to 2 months.
