This recipe is from the Ritz Carlton Cooking School I went to back in August. I’ve been working my way through some of my favorite dishes at home, and this lemon pound cake was the first recipe I attempted. I loved the cake when we had it at cooking school, and I wanted to share it with Chicken Legs.

The cake turned out fantastic! It tasted just like it did at cooking school. It had a great lemon flavor without being overwhelming. This is going to be my “go-to” pound cake from now on. We served it with a big scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Perfection!

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Notes:

  • DO NOT fill your pans to the very top or the cake will overflow!
  • I use a 15-cup Bundt pan. It also works in a Tube Pan.
  • If you are using a 12-cup or 10-cup Bundt pan, make sure to leave at least 1-inch to 1½ inches unfilled. You may have leftover batter.

  1. Can you add blueberries or will that change the consistency of the cake?

  4. Made it for Easter brunch and it was delicious, everyone loved it. I did not have shortening, so I used all butter and it was perfect. I added a bit more lemon juice for flavor. This is a keeper, will make it again.

    1. Can this be made as a sheet cake to be cut into squares and glazed for a Baby Shower?

      1. I haven’t tried baking this in a 9×13-inch pan, but my guess is that it would be fine.

      2. I had some leftover batter so I poured it into regular size muffin tins and baked at 350 for about 30 mins. Let cool in the tins for 10 mins and then turned them out and they came out great- perfect serving size for one person!

  5. Being a lemon cake lover for always, I decided to make this. I’m a cook , not a baker but followed the great instructions and tips. Came out PERFECTO first attempt. I will always use this recipe !
    This is now my go-to cake ! SO DELICIOUS – a serious and dense pound cake.

  6. I love this cake! I’ve made it several times and don’t change a thing.

    I am having a problem with the cake sticking to the pan. No matter how much spray and flour I use there is still some part of it that sticks. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Perhaps I should use a Bundt pan with a simpler design.

    Reply

    1. you may need a new Bundt pan, The designs don’t matter. Good luck I hope you find something that works well for you

  7. Quick question: Instead of mixing butter and shortening, can I get the same great results using all butter?

  9. I’ve been craving a lemon pound cake, found this one and am eager to give it a try.
    Growing up we had a young man from Louisiana live with us for a few years. He loved to cook.
    His first item was a lemon pound cake. The first few attempts the cakes fell. He needed to adjust for the altitude difference between the high deserts of Idaho and New Orleans.
    Even with the fallen cakes, every bite, every crumb was consumed.
    I actually liked the fallen version better. That crispy outer crust, moist flavorful center, with the dense fallen top. Mmmmm.
    I’ll be attempting my version this weekend. Looking forward to it, fallen or not!
