This has been a family favorite for 50+ years. It was a favorite of my father and now my five-year-old grandson can’t get enough of it. It makes a great base for strawberries and ice cream!

Sniff, inhale deeply. Smell the wonderful, lemony goodness. That’s Vic’s Easy Lemon Pound Cake. My daughter was wanting something lemony and when I saw this recipe I thought it would fit the bill. It is delicious. I doubt there will be any left to try with the strawberries my daughter is picking after work. Thanks Vic.

Kelly,
I’m glad you enjoyed it. A variation that is equally good is to use orange gelatin and orange juice for the glaze.

We did enjoy the pound cake. In fact, we only have about 1/2 of it left and there were only 4 of us home last evening. It was DH’s dinner! I did manage a bit with some strawberries. Delicious!

I had a bake sale for work and was looking for an old standard, not anything flashy. This fit the bill and was very popular. Way too sweet for me, but it was a big hit at the sale. It was also very easy to make. I mixed up a double batch in my kitchen aid mixer (it all barely fit) and baked it in three loaf pans.
