Pound Cake with Lemon or Vanilla

Classic pound cake – an easy and delicious dessert year round.

Ingredients

    Yield:

    • 1 bag Pamela's Vanilla Cake Mix
    • 4 eggs, large
    • 12 TBSP butter or Earth Balance (see note), softened (not melted)
    • 1/3 cup water
Directions

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Lightly beat eggs. Cut butter into 12 pieces. Combine butter, eggs and water with Vanilla Cake mix and incorporate on low for 30 to 60 seconds. Lumps of butter in batter are normal -- do not continue mixing.

    Pour into lightly greased 9" by 5" loaf pan and bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean.

    Note: If using Earth Balance in place of butter, baking time may be a few minutes less.

I followed the recipe exactly but found this very dry. The taste was good so warmed it in microwave followed by scoop of vanilla ice cream. Could applesauce be substituted for water to add more moisture?

Does this recipe call for salted or unsalted butter?

I assume that if I want to add lemon flavoring (liquid) that I should take out an equal amount of water, right?

I'm dying for some lemon pound cake.

Can I use buttermilk in place of the water and if so, do I need to add any baking soda? How much?
