🔥 Tips for Pound-Cake Perfection
- Room temp ingredients = smoother batter
- For extra lemon punch: brush cake with a mix of lemon juice + powdered sweetener before frosting
- Want it denser? Chill the cake overnight—flavor gets even better
If you want, I can:
- Adjust sweetness level
- Convert this into muffins or a bundt cake
- Calculate exact macros per slice
