Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 6-cup loaf pan and line it with parchment or waxed paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter. Add 1 cup of the sugar and mix. With the mixer running at low speed, add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla.
- Working in alternating batches, and mixing after each addition, add the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the butter mixture. Mix until just smooth.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake until raised in the center and a tester inserted into the center comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are OK), 65 to 75 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and the remaining 1/3 cup lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
- When the cake is done, let cool in the pan 15 minutes (it will still be warm). Run a knife around the sides of the pan. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan with sides (to catch the glaze) and turn the cake out onto the rack. Peel off the waxed paper.
- Using a turkey baster or pastry brush, spread glaze all over the top and sides of the cake and let soak in. Repeat until the entire glaze is used up, including any glaze that has dripped through onto the sheet pan. Let cool at room temperature or, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator (Well wrapped, the cake will last up to a week). Serve at room temperature, in thin slices.

LEMON PUDDING POUND CAKE
I love my Aunt TC's Lemon-Lime Soda Cake, so I thought it would be fun to make my own pound cake to share with her. Instant lemon pudding mix is the key to making this pound cake extra moist, and the lemon drizzle on top adds another layer of citrusy goodness.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt pan.
- Whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the butter, oil and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the yellow disappears after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice just until combined.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk in 3 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until the ingredients are combined.
- Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with only a couple of moist crumbs, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake and invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until thick. (If it's too runny, add a little more confectioners' sugar.) After the cake is cooled, pour the lemon drizzle over the top.
Tips for Making the Best Lemon Pound Cake:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: This will help to release the essential oils from the lemons and give your cake a more intense lemon flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder gradually: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Test the cake for doneness with a toothpick: The toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing: This will help to prevent the glaze from soaking into the cake.
Conclusion:
Lemon pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a delicious and refreshing cake, then lemon pound cake is the perfect recipe for you. With its bright lemon flavor and moist, tender texture, this cake is sure to be a hit.
