How to Make Lemon Pound Cake With Chambord Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups granulated sugar and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Add the zest of 2 lemons, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  6. In a small bowl whisk together 1 cup buttermilk.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake is still warm, pierce it liberally with a wooden pick.
  11. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of Chambord liqueur over the warm cake.
  12. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons Chambord liqueur, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until smooth.
  13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set before serving.
