Half pound of butter, plus 5 eggs, equals a moist delicious poundcake.

First the butter goes into the mixing bowl.

Add sugar gradually.

Beat until fluffy. Notice the difference in texture and color once
it's beaten?

Sift the flour and add to the butter mixture.
This is where I had a Nathalie Dupree flash back. I remember in her
old t.v. shows she would sift flour onto waxed paper, well most of it
got onto the paper. Then she added it to the mixer and the beaters
would fling the flour all over the place. What a hoot she was.

Next, lemon juice and vanilla is added.

Then the eggs, one at a time. You know what I'm going to say next
right. Mixing well after each addition.

Pour batter into prepared pan. I don't have the bundt pan the recipe
calls for, (I'll remedy that this weekend) so I used just a regular
ol' cake pan.

Ready for the oven.

As the cookbook says, Hot From The Oven.

The recipe didn't call for a glaze but I couldn't resist.

And that's that.
