LEMON DROP POUND CAKE

I am not much of a sweet eater, but... even I, want a little goodie every now and then. It's always nice to have something homemade on hand, when friends stop by, and.. something light and refreshing, for topping off a heavy meal. This is awesome to eat, and really easy to make. A royal lemony icing tops off this delicious cake. This is sure to become a favorite in your house, just like it is in mine!

 

Ingredients:
 1 1/2 cup Flour
 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
 1/2 tsp. Salt
 3 Eggs
 1 cup Sugar
 2 tbsp. Butter; softened
 1 tsp. Vanilla
 1 tsp. Lemon Extract
 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
 1/2 cup Oil (...of your choice. I use olive oil)

 Icing Ingredients:
 1 cup Powdered Sugar + 1 Tablespoon.
 2 tbsp. Milk
 1/2 tsp. Lemon Extract

Directions:

• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
• Pour wet ingredients into the dry flour, and mix well until smooth.
• Add oil and mix well again.
• Pour batter into a well greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean.
• Make the lemon icing by combining all the icing ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.

• When the cake is cool, remove from pan, and frost with the icing.
• Let the icing set (harden) before slicing.

NOW ENJOY!
