2. Combine Ingredients:
   Add in the eggs, one at a time, along with the sifted sugar, almond flavoring, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and smooth.

3. Beat Until Smooth:
   Follow your Czech Grandmother’s advice and beat the mixture for approximately 30 minutes until it achieves a smooth consistency. Adjust the duration if using an electric mixer.

4. Gradually Add Flour:
   Gradually incorporate the flour into the batter, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.

5. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before baking.

6. Prepare Baking Pan:
   Lightly grease your chosen baking pan, whether it’s a loaf pan, mini-loaf pans, or cupcake molds, ensuring they are ready to receive the batter.

7. Fill the Pan:
   Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling it approximately 3/4 of the way full. This allows room for the cake to rise evenly as it bakes.

8. Bake:
   Place the filled pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the following guidelines:

   • For loaf pans: Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the cake after 90 minutes. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
   • Mini-loafs and cupcakes may require less baking time, so keep an eye on them and adjust accordingly.

9. Cool and Serve:
   Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices of this delicious pound cake plain or dusted with confectioners’ sugar for a simple yet elegant presentation.

10. Optional Icing:
    If desired, you can also apply a thin coat of icing to the cooled cake for added sweetness and decoration.
