I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this one.






Recipe Introduction


Mouse once ate an entire pound cake all by herself. That proves it's good.





List of Ingredients



• Cake:
  
• 2 1/2 cups flour
  
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
  
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 3/4 cup milk
  
• 1 cup sour cream
  
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  
• 2 tsp lemon extract
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• Glaze:
  
• 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
  
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
  






Instructions



1. Cake: Heat oven to 325 F. Grease and lightly flour bundt pan (note: this is important - I forgot to do this once and it was a horror show).
   
2. With a hand mixer or a Kitchen Aid on low speed, blend all cake ingredients together until just blended. Next, beat on medium speed 3 more minutes. Pour mixture into pan. Bake 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
   
3. Glaze: Whisk 2 cups confectioners sugar w/lemon juice until smooth. Set aside 1/4 of this mixture for later.
   
4. With cake still in bundt pan, poke holes in the bottom of the cake with a skewer.
   
5. Pour 1/2 (minus original 1/4) of the mixture over the bottom of the hot cake. Let stand for 15 minutes.
   
6. Invert cake onto serving plate and brush tops and sides with remaining 1/2 glaze mixture. Let cool.
   
7. Blend remaining 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with reserved glaze until smooth and pourable. Add a little water if needed. Drizzle over the top and sides of the cake.
