Lemon Pound Bread is a rich, moist dessert that combines zesty lemon flavor with a buttery, dense texture. Originating from traditional European pound cake recipes, it gets its name from the original method of using a pound each of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Modern variations, including this lemon-infused version, often adjust these proportions for a softer crumb. Key ingredients include all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, eggs, lemon juice, and zest, sometimes topped with a sweet glaze. While Lemon Pound Bread is a delightful treat, it's relatively high in calories, saturated fats, and added sugars, making it a less ideal option for those on low-calorie or heart-healthy diets. However, the inclusion of fresh lemon juice and zest adds vitamin C and antioxidants. Enjoy it as an occasional indulgence or pair with fresh fruit for balance.
