Mother used to make pound cake and we would have some warm lemon sauce on top of a slice of cake. I'll have to locate the recipe for the lemon sauce. She must have used her mothers recipe since one of the recipes I found is labeled Mrs Carters Pound Cake.
1 cup Crisco
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
3 cups cake flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 tsp baking soda
7 tsp lemon extract(or 5 lemon and 2 vanilla)
Cream sugar and Crisco
Add eggs one at a time and beat well
Sift flour and salt
Add soda to buttermilk
Add flour, milk, and extract all together.
Bake in greased tube pain for one hour at 350 degrees.
I think I will try this recipe with butter instead of Crisco.
My sister Nancy had the lemon glaze recipe.
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp corn starch, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Stir in 1 cup boiling water and boil for 15 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir in 1 tsp grated lemon rind, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. butter.
Here is the warm lemon glaze recipe, my sister Nancy had it.
