I’ve made MANY pound cakes and keep going back to this one. It’s FAR better than Ina Garten’s Lemon Pound Cake. It has a very dense texture and is very moist. You can change the flavor by changing the yogurt flavor. I have a lemon pound cake in the oven, but next time I make it, I think I’ll try vanilla yogurt, vanilla beans, and no lemon peel.

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup (2-6 oz. cartons) lemon yogurt
  • 3 eggs

  • Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In large mixer bowl, combine all ingredients except glaze; blend at low speed. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into greased and floured 10” Bundt or tube pan. Bake at 325º for 60-65 min. until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 15 min., remove from pan. Cool completely, Drizzle with glaze.

Glaze

*Peach, orange or pineapple yogurt may be substituted for the lemon yogurt.
