This is a luscious lemon pound cake recipe.

The directions call for it to be placed into a bundt cake pan.

It does look wonderful in one of those fancy bundt cake pans, but a plain one will do.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
3/4 cup milk

For the Lemon Glaze:
3/4 cup confectioner sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine the oil and sugar and mix well. Add the eggs and continue beating the mixture until it is smooth. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into the egg mixture. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together well.

Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 12 cup bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, combine the glaze ingredients. While cake is still hot, pierce several times with a cake tester or toothpick to create small holes in the cake, then spoon the glaze over the cake.

Makes 12 servings.
