This Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake is always given “two thumbs up” by everyone who tastes it! I love that it’s a simple recipe, and even better news this Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake is only 3 Points on Weight Watchers‘ program, it’s still tasty enough that those who aren’t watching their weight will love it, too. And the truth is since Oprah hoped on board the Weight Watchers’ train I too have taken the leap (and have been steadily sticking to it for 14 days) . Perhaps it seems like child’s play to those of you who have been Weight Watchers’ fans and stuck to a diet for a lot longer than 14 days- but for me–it has been revelatory.
Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake
Why is Weight Watchers so gosh darn special you ask? Well it’s because I have never stuck to anything– except for my marriage and religion. Those are pretty much the only two constants that I’ve managed to hold firm to for the last 19 years of my life on this planet. And after trying this Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake I am pretty sure both I and Oprah will convince you to join us on our journey to being healthier and STILL eating the foods we love! And the truth is, despite my lack of cooking skills, my daughter’s been asking me recently if we can start baking together. So, I’m slowly inching my way back into the kitchen and we’ve actually prepared some tasty meals together.
The best part about cooking with my daughter and son is that while we’re working together, measuring out condiments, we manage to have the best conversations talking about things I’d usually have to beg her to share with me.
I am the first to admit it: Before I got married, my idea of preparing a meal was heating up Chinese take-out food in the microwave. Eventually, at the behest of my newlywed husband who wanted a “home-cooked meal on the table every night,” I tried my hand at cooking pasta. My fatal flaw was that while the pasta was boiling in the pot, I took a shower and conveniently forgot about it until the smoke alarm went off and a mini fire erupted in the kitchen. Suffice it to say, I am not one of those moms who can whip up vegetable baked ziti but…I can whip up this Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake.

So the real question…did I drop any poundage during this challenge? the answer is YES. How many pounds you ask? I did drop three pounds- three hard won, hard fought pounds– and more than the poundage- I feel better. I feel healthier and I feel really good that I am able to stick to this healthy eating challenge- and enjoy foods like this Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake– Thanks OPRAH

That sounds amazing! I love better for you options like this. The yogurt is perfect for extra protein and keeping the cake extra moist. Om nom nom.
Are these SF mixes/puddings or regular?
I love this recipe SO much. I have been trying really hard to eat better this year and this helps A LOT!
I love that you mention how many points it is. I think a lot of times people have to guess on how much they can eat of something like this. I love the idea of a lemon pound cake!
could I add shredded zucchini to this recipe?
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Lemon cake is one of my favorites. I must try this cake. I made a lemon cake over the holiday and I’m sure it’s not Weight Watchers friendly.
I am so ready to try this cake! Weight Watchers really knows how to make the best desserts for the least amount of points.

How much butter and milk?
A Lemon Pound Cake sounds so good to me right now! Yours looks delicious, plus it seems like a great option for someone watching their calorie intake.
Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering right now! This cake looks super delicious and I love that its weight watchers!
This pound cake looks oh so delicious. I love how vibrant the colouring is as well.
I love everything lemon. This cake is a must make for me.
This looks perfect. I haven’t had pound cake in such a long time.
This looks really good! Perfect to try this weekend!

Where can you find sugar free lemon cake mix and who makes it? I’ve searched all over internet and can’t find any!! Would love to try this recipe!!
My whole family is huge fans of anything lemon – its just so refreshing! This sound easy enough for even me to bake, since I’m definitely not a whiz in the kitchen. I’ll probably eat it all in one serving lol
I have made this recipe 4 times so far! lol it is my “go-to” when I need to bring something to parties! Everyone loves it ! The only thing is I can’t get my icing to look like that. I can’t get my icing to “show up” at all. I let my cake completely cool. But, it just soaks into my cake and “disappears”. We can still taste it and it tastes fabulous! but, just wondering it there is a trick to getting the ‘icing’ look. Know what I mean?
Where do you find SF lemon cake mix?
I would also like to know where you find sugar free lemon cake mix.
Can you share where to find sugar free lemon cake mix? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Nope never found it myself, just used yellow cake, with lemon extract, zest & juice to get that lemon flavor.
How much lemon extract, zest, & juice did you use?
What are the measurements?
I made this for a group gathering and it was delicious. It got scoffed up quickly. Used a regular lemon cake mix but kept all the other ingredients the same. Calculated 2 points. 21 for cake mix 3 for pudding. 24 divided by. 12. Sooo good
I have tried to find sugar free lemon cake mix
Where can I find it?
I don’t think they make it…. I used the SF yellow batter cake mix
Swerve brand is sugar free. Sold at Kriger and Meijer
Where can we find the sugar free lemon cake mix?
Swerve Brand is SF— Kroger and Meijer
Where can I find sugar free lemon cake mix
Thanks
I made this tonight and the boxed Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake Mix is 84 points by itself. Three grocery stores and not one had a sugar free cake mix. I served 20 and it came to 4 freestyle smart points per slice. Nice size slices. Made in a bundt pan.
Where did you get sugar free lemon cake mix? What brand is it?
Swerve Brand, sold at Kroger and Meijer stores.
I made this yesterday and it turned out great. Very dense and moist and more like pound cake, which I love. Very strong lemon flavor as well, which is how lemony things should be. I could not find sf lemon cake mix, so I used regular lemon cake mix and sf instant lemon pudding. I did not make the glaze and it’s great without it. Thank you for a great recipe.
There is no such thing as sugar free lemon cake mix. Also, the info on Pinterest is incorrect, it’s NOT a zero point cake, unless you bake it, and not eat it.
While this is LOW WW points it is NOT ZERO points. Please please be honest & do not mislead people.
Keep on sharing more like this type article I will deeply read your article, it’s really helpful for me, I like it great job.
