Starbuck’s Lemon Pound Cake

by

I stole this recipe for Starbuck’s Lemon Pound Cake from a cookbook called Six Sisters’ Stuff Copycat Cooking. This delicious copycat recipe gets help from cake mix and pudding. Boxed lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, water and lemon juice are mixed together in a bowl. Then the batter is split between two loaf pans. Next the cakes are baked and cooled, then drizzled with a homemade lemon glaze. The finished pound cakes are light and lemony.
