Lemon glazed pound cake


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees & grease a 5x9" loaf pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine:
1-1/4 c. sugar
2 Tblsp. lemon zest
juice from 2 lemons (1/4 cup)
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
On medium speed, mix well and then slowly pour in:
2 sticks (1 cup) melted butter (that's been cooled slightly)

Slowly add using lowest speed, scraping down sides & bottom of bowl:
1-1/2 cup cake flour
1 tsp. baking powder

Spoon into loaf pan. Bake for 15 minutes @350 degrees, then lower the temp. to 325 degrees and bake an additional 40-45 minutes (test with toothpick- if center of cake isn't done, bake longer, checking every few minutes).

Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Put cake on a plate, mix 1/2 C. sugar with 1/4 c. lemon juice and pour over warm cake evenly. Cool completely.
