2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Lemon Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 350° and grease or line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
Beat in vanilla.
Add the zest and juice from 1 large lemon and mix in.
Add the flour, salt and baking powder and beat on low until incorporated and smooth.
Spread evenly into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If the top of cake is starting to get too dark, quickly cover with foil and continue baking.
Let cake cool completely before glazing.

Lemon Glaze

Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and pinch salt. Pour and spread evenly on top of cake and watch it fall down the sides of the cake. Let cake sit until glaze has set.

Macerated Strawberries

Combine strawberries and sugar in bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes before using. Spoon over slice of cake and eat!
