ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes!)
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup half-and-half cream, warmed

- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄3 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped almonds (or other nuts)
directions
- Set oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a large springform pan (do not use a Bundt or tube pan!).
- In a bowl cream the butter with 2 cups of sugar for about 6 minutes (until no sugar granules remain in the creamed mixture).
- Add in the flour and beat until combined (mixture will be thick and coarse).
- Add in eggs (one at a time) mixing well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk the warmed milk with the baking powder, then add into the creamed mixture; mix until combine.
- In another small bowl, dissolve/whisk the lemon juice with the baking soda: mix well until combined.
- Add the lemon juice/baking soda mix to the batter; mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into prepare greased springform pan.
- Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the chopped nuts.
- Sprinkle on top of cake.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (I found that 45 minutes in a 325 degree air-convection oven exactly was the perfect baking time for the cake ).
- Cool the cake completely in the pan before removing.
- Delicious!

I'm always game for a new pound cake recipe; this one is great ~ the preparation was a little unusual but probably makes for consistent results (ie: it rose up nicely!). I am very glad that I used a springform as directed, it would definitely have spilled over the edge of my tube pan. Thank you for another sure thing;)
