LEMON POUND CAKE
According to my dad, every Southern woman knows how to make a good pound cake. My version is based on my grandmother's recipe. She always added lemon, and I've followed suit with loads of bright, tart lemon in both the batter and glaze. To get the cake out of the pan, I'm sharing a trick that guarantees your loaf won't stick or break-equal parts softened butter and flour get mixed together and generously brushed in every nook and cranny before filling.

Steps:
- For the cake: To prepare the pan, mix 2 tablespoons softened butter and 2 tablespoons flour (equal parts of each) in a small bowl until combined. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the inside of a 10-cup Bundt pan or two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans and set aside. (Alternatively, spray with nonstick baking spray with flour.) Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F if using a bundt pan or 350 degrees F if using loaf pans.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the remaining 1 cup softened butter and the cream cheese on medium-low speed until smooth, creamy and well combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla and salt.
- With the mixer running, pour the sugar into the bowl in a steady stream. The batter will start to take shape. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the batter becomes pale, fluffy and has lightened in color, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs two at a time, mixing until they are completely incorporated before adding the next, about 1 minute for each addition. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until just combined.
- Stop the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. If the batter appears broken from the addition of the final 2 eggs, don't worry-it will come together in the next step.
- With the mixer off, add the flour all at once. Mix on low speed just until no streaks of
- flour remain. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix in any bits of flour that were
- not fully incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan or pans and smooth the top.
- Bake until a cake tester inserted deep into the center of the bundt cake or loaves comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes for a bundt and 50 to 60 minutes for loaves.
- Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use a small angled spatula or butter knife to loosen the cakes from the pans by running it around the loaves or around the inside and outside perimeters if you baked a bundt. Invert the cakes onto the rack and cool to room temperature.
- For the lemon glaze: Whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice and confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. If necessary, add a little milk until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency. If it is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Set aside.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze all over and allow to drip down the sides.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Thoroughly coat a 10-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the salt, then mix in the flour 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the soda and then the lemon zest. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Add large spoonfuls of batter to the Bundt pan until the pan is filled, then smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 70 to 75 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then carefully turn out the cake onto the rack and let cool completely.
- For the glaze: Spread out the lemon zest on a plate and air-dry for about 30 minutes. Combine the powdered sugar, dried lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and water in a medium bowl. Gently whisk until thick but pourable, thinning with a little more lemon juice if needed. Put the cake on a cake stand or platter and use a large spoon to drizzle the glaze all over the cake. Let it set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
- Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 6-cup loaf pan and line it with parchment or waxed paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter. Add 1 cup of the sugar and mix. With the mixer running at low speed, add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla.
- Working in alternating batches, and mixing after each addition, add the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the butter mixture. Mix until just smooth.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake until raised in the center and a tester inserted into the center comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are OK), 65 to 75 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and the remaining 1/3 cup lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
- When the cake is done, let cool in the pan 15 minutes (it will still be warm). Run a knife around the sides of the pan. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan with sides (to catch the glaze) and turn the cake out onto the rack. Peel off the waxed paper.
- Using a turkey baster or pastry brush, spread glaze all over the top and sides of the cake and let soak in. Repeat until the entire glaze is used up, including any glaze that has dripped through onto the sheet pan. Let cool at room temperature or, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator (Well wrapped, the cake will last up to a week). Serve at room temperature, in thin slices.
