Tips to Make the Best Lemon Almond Pound Cake
Want to make the perfect pound cake? Follow these tips for excellent results:
- Make sure you carefully butter and flour the pan. This makes it easy to remove the cake once it’s baked. Also, since this recipe is for a large cake, don’t use a smaller pan than the one specified.
- For the glaze, it can be thick or thin as per your preference. Thinner works better for this cake; once drizzled on the cake, let it flow down and then scoop it up and drizzle again. This creates a double crackly layer of glaze. A thick glaze will also make your cake sweeter.
