I am in love with Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Lemon. Sometimes, like this week lemon moved to first for a while. With this Glazed Lemon Pound Cake how could it not? It can be made in a big Bundt or tube pan and glazed or frosted, but my favorite is to bake it in two loaf pans. One for now and one for later, or in this week’s case one for us and one for a neighbor recovering from surgery.
This glaze bursts with pure lemon flavor. Other lemon pound cakes use a combination of powdered sugar, milk, and a little lemon juice. This one enhances the Glazed Lemon Pound Cake with just a combination of lemon and sugar. Drizzling the still warm glaze over the top of the warm cake allows it to soak in and Ohhh! It is so good!
