In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dark brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon zest until smooth.

Slice your pound cake thick (about 1-inch slices).
Dip each slice into the egg mixture, coating all sides well.
4. Cook to Golden Perfection:
In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt butter.
Cook each slice until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
