🔥 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
