Lemon Loaf Pound Cake

9/17/17

Easy lemon loaf pound cake, and it tastes better than

Starbuck’s lemon loaf cake recipe!

Lemon Loaf Pound Cake drizzled with sweet icing!

An Easy, Semi-homemade Lemon Loaf Pound Cake Recipe!

I love Starbucks Lemon Loaf recipe, but I actually have a recipe that is even better! This lemon loaf pound cake is so amazing, it gives Starbucks a run for their money!

Serve slices of lemon loaf pound cake at your next brunch!

Making this easy lemon loaf if extremely simple because we cheat by using lemon cake mix! That’s right no making anything from scratch, you can skip the headache. The only thing we’re making from scratch for this lemon loaf pound cake will be the icing/glaze.

Crunchy and sweet outside, moist and tart inside!

The glaze that we drizzle of this lemon loaf pound cake is the bomb! It’s made with fresh lemon juice, as well as sugar, and lemon zest.

Moist lemon pound cake drizzled with sweet icing and tart lemon zest.

I DO NOT use store bought lemon juice for this moist and delicious lemon loaf recipe. I use  fresh lemons. It tastes so much better than the store bought stuff!

Slices of lemon loaf pound cake will be the perfect addition to any brunch!

Be sure to try out this lemon loaf pound cake, and tell me what you think! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to my mailing list and find me on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for more recipes!

    I loved your Lemon Loaf Pound cake. But for the Lemon taste I added 2 Tbsp. Lemon juice from a Meyers lemon and the zest was from a Meyers lemon. It was so delicious and lemony. Really loved it. Your recipes are always so delicious. I really love your Recipe blog and the amazing and different recipes. Please keep them coming!!!

    Oh My Goodness! This is the THIRD time I have made this cake in eight days…first for my nine year old grandson who loves the Starbuck’s Lemon Pound Cake, second for a church function, and tonight for my husband. People, this cake is Beyond LUSCIOUS ! It is SPECTACULARI added two teaspoons off lemon extract and I poured it into a bundt cake pan instead of two loaf pans. Bake until tester comes out clean. Cool as instructed and then glaze. It is gorgeous! I had 17 recipe requests the night of the church function. My ultra picky grandson tells everyone this cake is The BOMB. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this recipe with us⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
