Instructions
Lemon Pound Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

by coating the interior lightly with coconut
oil.

over the coconut oil.
Sift dry ingredients in a
large mixing bowl
and stir with a whisk to
combine.
Place oil and honey in the bowl of a
food processor
and process for 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add coconut milk, lemon extract, and lemon zest, and continue to process until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients and thoroughly combine using a wooden spoon until smooth
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test
Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes
Remove cake from pan and let cool completely
Glaze
While cake is in the oven, cut vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the beans into a
small saucepan
.
Add the vanilla bean pod, lemon juice, zest, and honey to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature. Remove pod and discard.
Using a fork, poke several holes in the top of the cake
Pour glaze over the cake, using a spatula to evenly distribute over the entire cake. Let the cake rest for an hour to fully absorb the glaze.
