More About This Recipe

  • Who doesn’t love a bright and fresh lemon cake? This delightful recipe just so happens to be gluten-free (in case you need it), but even if you don’t eat a gluten-free diet, you’ll enjoy this gluten-free pound cake. Almond extract and fresh lemon peel take this cake to a new level, and cottage cheese is the secret ingredient that helps to keep the cake moist. A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top is an easy way to create a beautiful presentation when serving this to friends and family. Fun fact: Pound cake gets its name from the primary ingredients of one pound each butter, sugar and flour. Searching for some cake-making tips from the experts? Look no further!
