This pound cake with lemon glaze came from my great aunt's collection. Her secret was doubling the amount of sour cream. I have used this cake as a basis for creating other pound cakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®); sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Cream 3 cups sugar and butter together in a large bowl until fluffy; add vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift flour and baking soda together in a medium bowl; add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream. Spoon into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan to a wire rack; cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Combine confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, and food coloring in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
