WONDERFUL BUTTERY MOIST POUND CAKE!

Steps:

• In a bowl cream the butter with 2 cups of sugar for about 6 minutes (until no sugar granules remain in the creamed mixture).
• Add in the flour and beat until combined (mixture will be thick and coarse).
• Add in eggs (one at a time) mixing well after each addition.
• In a small bowl, whisk the warmed milk with the baking powder, then add into the creamed mixture; mix until combine.
• In another small bowl, dissolve/whisk the lemon juice with the baking soda: mix well until combined.

• Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the chopped nuts.
• Sprinkle on top of cake.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (I found that 45 minutes in a 325 degree air-convection oven exactly was the perfect baking time for the cake ).
