My Friend Todd’s blog It Happens At The Bean is brilliant. A combination of learning cooking at an early age from his grandmother, mother and great Aunts, and a lot of practice, Todd has became a pro. His dishes are out of this world. Last week he posted an incredible Lemon Pound Cake. I was dying to try it and share it on my blog….You are going to love it as well. When you have a chance, check out It Happens At The Bean. It’s a good one!!!! Bon Appetit!!!
INGREDIENTS

-
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Butter a 6-cup loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, 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 and zest 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, 65 to 75 minutes.
-
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.
-
When the cake is cool, carefully(large spatula) transfer to a serving platter. Combine the confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and melted butter in a medium bowl, mixing with a fork until smooth. Add more confectioners’ sugar or lemon juice as necessary to make a thick but pourable glaze(like syrup). Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake.
