Note: the key to a good pound cake is having your ingredients at room temperature.
INGREDIENGTS :

13.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs
1 1/3 cups low-fat buttermilk
Cooking spray

2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice… or 4… or 5….
DIRECTIONS :
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease/spray two (8 x 4–inch) loaf pans or one big budnt pan.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking bower, and salt.
Place sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and buttermilk to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Spoon batter into loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For the glaze… sift the confectioners sugar and whisk in the lemon juice until there are no lumps. The rest is up to you! Do you want it thinner but don’t want super lemon glaze? Add a few drops of water.
Or you can be like me… and wants super lemon glaze! : ) Drizzle away.
