List of Ingredients



• 3 cups cake flour, sifted
  
• 2 cups granulated sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
  
• 1/3 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  
• 6 large eggs
  
• 2 teaspoons pure lemon extract
  
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 medium lemons)
  
• Glaze:
  
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 3 quart fluted tube or bundt pan.
   
2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, blend flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add butter, buttermilk and 3 eggs. Beat on low until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add lemon extract and lemon zest and blend at medium speed. Add the remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, beating at high speed for 30 seconds after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
   
3. While pound cake is baking, prepare lemon glaze. In a small saucepan heat lemon juice and sugar over low heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves. When cake is done, remove from the oven and leave cake in pan. With a toothpick, poke holes in the surface of the cake and pour half the glaze over it. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then invert on cooling rack. Brush top of poundcake with remaining lemon glaze. Cool to room temperature, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
   
4. Yield: 24 servings
