My guest today is a longtime friend author Cecelia Dowdy. She is offering an ebook copy of her latest book Raspberry Kisses<\/em> for one commenter so be sure to look for today’s QUESTION. Here’s Cecelia:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My grandmother had to feed her large family on a shoestring budget. Smart and savvy, she fed her clan, making cheap nutritious meals.<\/p>\n

When I was ten, my family visited her in Michigan. She made us a lemon pound cake. It was delicious! She made an extra one for us to take home. My sisters and I argued over that cake during the drive home, grabbing pieces. I was afraid my older sister would eat all of it. My dad threatened to throw the cake out the window if we didn\u2019t get quiet.<\/p>\n

I often tried to replicate the recipe, but, mine never tasted as good as hers. I\u2019d wanted to ask her for the recipe, but, family members cautioned that she may not give me her secret pound cake recipe.<\/p>\n

I thought about the cake often over the years, and sometimes, I\u2019d get excited when it was my father\u2019s birthday. Why? Well, my grandmother would send a lemon pound cake in the mail for my dad\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

Finally when she was 97, I asked her for the pound cake recipe. She chuckled and agreed to send it to me in the mail. So, in her squiggly, spidery, writing, she gave me the recipe. Several people told me that it\u2019s the best pound cake they\u2019ve ever tasted.<\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t know the history behind this recipe. I don\u2019t know the first time it was made. I\u2019m not sure if my grandmother created this recipe, or, if it was handed down to her from her mother. I just know that whenever I eat a slice of this cake, I think of my grandmother in the kitchen, making desserts for her large family.<\/p>\n

Since the love of baking runs in my family, I made my heroine in Raspberry Kisses<\/em> a strong, passionate baker.<\/p>\n

Lemon Pound Cake
\n1 \u00bd cups butter (3 sticks)
\n3 cups sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1 teaspoon lemon extract
\n1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
\n1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
\n6 large eggs
\n3 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 teaspoon baking powder
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n\u00bd cup evaporated milk
\nHeat oven to 325 degrees.
\nGrease and flour 10-inch tube pan. Beat butter in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add sugar \u00bd cup at a time, creaming well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, lemon extract, juice and rind. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir thoroughly after each addition. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 70 to 80 minutes. If cake is not done after 70-80 minutes, bake longer, until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes; remove from pan.
\nGLAZE: Sift one cup of confectioners\u2019 sugar into a bowl. Squeeze juice of one lemon into a separate bowl. Remove seeds from the lemon juice. Mix lemon juice with confectioners\u2019 sugar and drizzle over cooled cake.<\/p>\n
