Indulge in the rich, buttery goodness of whipping cream pound cake. This classic dessert has a tender crumb and subtle citrus notes. Top with fresh fruit for a special treat.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Sliced fresh fruit, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour two 9x5-in. loaf pans. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Add flour alternately with cream, beating just until blended. Pour into prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 80-85 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Serve with fresh fruit if desired.

This cake never lasts long at family gatherings. Slices taste terrific whether served alone or topped with fresh fruit. —Shirley Tincher, Zanesville, Ohio
