Trisha Yearwoods Lemon Pound Cake with Glaze is moist and perfectly flavored. This cake is bright and fresh and a must-make recipe.
This lemon pound cake has just the right amount of lemon and the cream cheese glaze adds just the right about of creamy, tart goodness.
Trisha Yearwoods Lemon Pound Cake with Glaze doesn’t have as fine crumb texture as most of the other pound cakes I’ve made. It has more of a classic yellow cake texture than a small crumb texture of a traditional pound cake. It is buttery and soft with a light lemon flavor. I highly recommend the Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze. I have also made this Powdered Sugar Glaze and used lemon instead of lime juice. It’s very good as well as a great alternative if you don’t have cream cheese.
This easy-to-make recipe is loaded with delicious lemon flavor, and topped with an amazing lemon frosting. Even though this pound cake is lemon flavored it still pairs well with fresh or grilled fruit. fruit sauce, or ice cream. I always like ice cream to cut through the richness of a sweet cake. What about you?
If you’ve been a following my Pound Cake series, you know by now that pound cakes are my favorite thing to cook. Making a pound cake relaxes me. I know, that sounds crazy to some people.
Here are a few tips so your Trisha Yearwoods Lemon Pound Cake with Glaze will turn out perfectly.
- Read this post: How to correctly measure flour.
- Cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat until the yolk just disappears into the batter.
- Over the course of baking pound cakes for this series, I have changed from using a non-stick spray on my pans to greasing them then dusting with flour. I have found that generously greasing with Crisco solid vegetable shortening then putting about 1/4 cup flour in a sift and dusting it over the shortening really works better to prevent sticking.
- Allow the cake to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a platter.
- Always cool completely before covering or refrigerating.
