Iced Lemon Pound Cake Recipe
A couple weeks ago I stopped in a Starbucks to get a yogurt parfait and saw the famous Starbucks iced lemon pound cake in the case I just had to have. After one bite, I knew I wanted to re-create my own recipe for it.
Let’s just say I did it! Well, I am sure it’s not their recipe, but boy does it taste just like it 🙂 My boys went nuts over this cake and my oldest has requested it for his birthday cake, lol!
It’s that good people and shhhh, don’t tell but I start the recipe from a cake mix. Trust me, no one will ever know. Happy baking!!
Here’s your simple line up of ingredients.
How to Make Iced Lemon Pound Cake
In no particular order, add all of your cake ingredients to the mixer.
Add your lemon pudding and milk.
4 beautiful large eggs.
Your oil and sour cream.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice 🙂 Mmmm!
Once mixed nicely, divide the batter between your loaf pans (9×5).
How gorgeous is this?! Wait until you taste it.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the tangy icing.
Drizzle, drizzle and drizzle!
I am speechless. Lol!
