Lemon Pound Cake

I made these for our little party.  And two loaves were gone *just like that*.  And then I heard the subtle hints for the recipe.  Why sure!  I always share recipes!  This is a Jackie original. 



Lemon Pound Cake- A Jackie Original

2 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 Cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp of vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup flour
1 TBSP grated lemon rind

1) Butter, sugar, eggs, oil in bowl.  Beat.  Add vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice. Mix.  Add salt, baking soda, baking powder and flour.  Mix.  Add lemon rind.
2) Pour into greased loaf pan.
3) Bake 350 for 40-45 min.
4) Turn out of loaf pan to let cool on baking rack.

Glaze

1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup flour (I like to add a little flour to cut the sugar.
1 tsp lemon extract
Splash of milk until you get a texture that's a little less runny than pudding (real scientific, huh?!)

While cake is cool and still on the baking rack, drizzle/spread the glaze on top of the cake.  It will drip down.
