Zesty Sour Cream Pound Cake

Dense, tangy, and buttery cake. Uses lemon zest instead of juice for subtle citrus punch. Swap all-purpose flour for cake flour to lighten crumb. Replace traditional butter with browned brown butter for nutty depth. Cream sugar and butter until fluffy, important for texture. Add eggs one at a time; too fast and batter breaks. Sour cream lends moisture and slight tang. Mix flour gently to avoid toughness. Bake until edges pull from pan and toothpick with crumbs, not wet batter. Frost with cream cheese glaze for balance, not too sweet.
