This lemon pound cake is not quite the typical butter cake. The addition of cream cheese makes it a little more special and flavorful. But it is still an easy and quick recipe to make on any day.

2

Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat butter and cream cheese together until combined. Add sugar and beat for 5 minutes.
3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until loose. Gradually add the beaten egg into the butter mixture. Mix briefly after every addition along with the lemon zest.
4

Sieve the flour and baking powder into the butter mixture. Add salt and mix everything just until combined.
5

Line the loaf pan with parchment paper or simply butter and flour it (I use 7 x 16.5 x 6 cm deep pan). Fill the pan with the cake batter. Then bake it in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake center comes out clean. Remove from the pan immediately to cool.
6

To make the lemon glaze, simply combine powdered sugar and enough lemon juice. Add the juice a little at a time until it reaches a consistency that you like.
7

[Optional] If you want a flat top, slice off the cake dome and turn it upside down.
8

Simply pour the lemon glaze over and sprinkle some toasted pistachio on the cake. Let the glaze set before slicing and enjoy!
