Pat…I have not used the lemon zest but you could, I still think it would need the lemon extract as well. Good luck and a great weekend to you.

I am going to make this recipe this weekend, just wondering have you ever used lemon zest instead of the lemon extract or a combination of a little of both? Also have yu ever served it with a fruit topping such as blueberries or rasberries?

Hi Pat…I did not have a stand mixer at the time. She used an old Kitchen Aid mixer and and she beat everything longer than I had been doing and it turned out to be an entirely different cake than what I had been making. She also laid out her eggs, butter and milk and allowed them to come to room temp first before making the cake. We think it is the best pound cake ever!
