Sunshine Lemon Pound Cake
"Easy lemon pound/bundt cake. This is the cake portion of the McCormick lemon sunshine cake. Theirs calls for a sugar glaze in & on the cake - we found it better without anything on it. What I can say is that this is EASY, very inexpensive, and great in flavor. It's 1 bowl -- no mixing this & mixing that -- simple but BIG result. I make this all the time; to tell you how quick & easy - I made one last nite starting at 6:30 pm and my DH enjoyed a nice slice at 8:30 pm!"

This is a light as a feather pound cake. It is the lightest in texture pound cake I have ever tasted. I didn't have any lemon extract so used the 'real thing' instead. (zest from one lemon and equivalent teaspoons of fresh lemon juice instead). We really like the taste of lemon glaze over our lemon cakes...but for those who prefer not...this is a nice alternative. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Hi. I started on Recipeezaar about two years ago and use it exclusively for new recipes. I love the variety and am thankful for the reviews and tips. <br /> <br />I started cooking about 20 years ago (pretty late in life though). My mom did it all -- but with 8 kids pulling on her apron at all times, she never had time to really teach us (the girls) how to cook -- certainly did watch but wasn't what I would consider a cook til I got married (26 then). What a disaster that was! A dear friend helped me plan my first dinner party. She didn't help me cook -- but gave me recipes, tips, etc. It was 3 couples plus my now EX husband and me -- I went all out -- decorated, lighting was perfect, and the food smelled good. As the dinner party was getting seated and I was about to make a toast, our doorbell rang and Pizza Hut showed up -- my now EX husband and his buddy decided that I wouldn't be able to cook anything worth eating and they wanted a back-up plan! Now you can better appreciate the emphasis I've placed on EX husband. <br /> <br />Anyway, as a single gal again, I started cooking -- anything and everything I could --through good friends and many cookbooks, I became quite a good cook. (My present and WONDERFUL husband of 14 yrs is living proof of that fact -- his waistline has expanded in these last 14 years.) <br /> <br />My passion is to make people happy and one of the ways I do so is through cooking. I uploaded my first recipe post yesterday evening -- was always too scared -- but my husband encouraged me to go for it. Anyway, if y'all find it and give it a try, your feedback is most appreciated -- this forum is full of SUPERIOR chefs, cooks, and great people. <br /> <br />Look forward to continuing Recipezaar as my main source for furthering my cooking skills. <br /> <br />Take care!! <br /> <br />Trixie</p>
