The secret to this four-ingredient lemon pound cake is sweetened condensed milk. Dense but moist, it makes a great base for strawberry shortcake. When served by itself, I top it with a simple lemon juice and powdered sugar glaze.

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons lemon zest , optional
1.25 cups self-rising flour

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, line bottom and sides with parchment paper, and spray again with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2

Whisk eggs, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Add flour and mix just until flour is moistened. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
