Golden Lemon Pound Cake image

Years ago, while pastoring a church in New Mexico, I worked in a nursing home. For a Christmas party, I baked this pound cake. Everyone raved over the treats "my wife" made. When I told them I'd made them myself, they were astonished.-Douglas Jennings, Ottawa, Kansas

This recipe is way too sweet for me. I would cut the sugar in half next time.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I overbaked it.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier pound cake.

I've tried many lemon pound cake recipes and this is by far the best. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

The cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used Meyer lemons and they gave the cake a wonderfully bright flavor.

This golden lemon pound cake was a delightful treat! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfectly balanced - not too tart, not too sweet. I loved the glaze on top, which added a nice crunch and extra sweetness.
