YUM!!!

What a treat and soo easy to make! The one chance (by family request) is I do a double batch of glaze and have it as a dip on the site - sure it is not the most healthy but everyone finds it fun.

BEST LEMON POUND CAKE EVER!

First, thank you for this fantastic recipe (an adjective I rarely use). My alterations: I baked the dough in two loaf pans, but for company on its way, I'd use the bundt pan. Next, I melted the morsels at 50% power--easy! Finally, I omitted the glaze. Instead, I brought to a simmer 1/2 c. lemon juice and 1/2 c. granualted sugar. As soon as the cakes were browned and tested done, I poked the tops with a thin-bladed knife. Then, I slowly spooned on the cooled glaze. When the cakes cooled in the pans on cooling racks, I had no problem removing them from the pans (I use parchment paper). I did have a problem resisting the wonderful crust and taste of this cake. Wonderful--a favorite now and forever! (And I've been a baker and saver of recipes for over 30 years.)

Good

My mom loves it when I make her this cake. I always tried it without the white chocolate and still tastes delicious! Not too sour or anything but nice with a little of sweet and tasty!
