Recipe Notes:
- This pound cake recipe is incredibly versatile and can be customized to your taste. You can add lemon zest for a citrusy twist or fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake. Mix until just combined for a light and fluffy texture.
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze slices for longer storage. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
