Easy Yellow Pound Cake With Lemon Glaze Recipes

LEMON CAKE WITH YELLOW CAKE MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously grease a 12-cup bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cake and gelatin mix. Whisk in the oil, eggs, water, and lemon extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
• Pour the batter into greased pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the cake onto a serving plate.
• While baking, prepare the frosting: stir together sifted powdered sugar and lemon juice.
• Pour the frosting over the slightly cooled cake. Let the icing set for 30 minutes before serving.

GLAZED LEMON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Butter and flour two 4 1/2-by-8-inch (6-cup) loaf pans.
• In a small bowl (or liquid measuring cup), combine buttermilk with lemon zest and juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three parts alternately with the buttermilk mixture in two, beginning and ending with flour; beat just until smooth (do not overmix).
• Divide batter evenly between pans; smooth tops. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes (tent with foil if browning too quickly). Cool 15 minutes in pan. Turn out cakes onto a rack; cool completely before glazing.
• Set rack with cakes over a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Pour glaze over cakes, letting it run down the sides; let dry, about 30 minutes.
