Lemon Supreme Pound Cake with Simple Lemon Icing/Glaze Recipe

WW Recipe of the Day: Lemon Supreme Pound Cake

In addition to sharing lots of WW friendly recipes here on Simple Nourished Living, I also love to share family favorites, especially from my childhood. My mom has been making this lemon supreme pound cake with simple lemon icing/glaze recipe since I was a kid. She always baked hers in a bundt pan (affiliate link). If you prefer it can be made into a loaf instead.

Iced Lemon Supreme Pound Cake

She clipped the recipe from the side of the Duncan Hines cake mix box sometime back in the 1970's and has been making it ever since. And my mom wasn't the only one according to this enthusiastic comment...

I am so excited!!! Just found your recipe for Lemon Pound Cake that your mother made from the back of the cake box. My mother-in-law make this cake for years and since she passed some years back, no one in our family has been able to figure out how it is made or find the recipe. I will be making this tomorrow to surprise our daughters. I am sure there will be joyful tears! Looking forward to seeing future posts!! Thanks again! ~ Sue

Mom also likes to make orange supreme pound cake with the orange supreme cake mix too, but that can be more difficult to find on the grocery store shelves.

Since lemon supreme pound cake begins with a box of cake mix and pudding mix, it is super easy and turns out moist and delicious every time.

I had orange pound cake on my mind when I went to the grocery store yesterday, but quickly changed my mind to lemon upon discovering the lack of boxed orange cake mix.

This turned out to be a win for my husband, who loves lemon pound cake.

Fresh lemon juice

It's lemon season here in Phoenix, so I added the zest of a couple of lemons to the lemon supreme pound cake batter and the zest of another lemon into the glaze. Although, not necessary, I think it really brightened up the flavor of this quick and easy pound cake.

If you are one of those people who prefers to doctor up cake mixes, rather than starting from scratch, this lemon supreme pound cake recipe is definitely worth adding to your files.
