Lemon Pound Cake is one of my favorite baked goods! A while back Starbucks took their delicious Iced Lemon Pound Cake off the menu. Oh the horrors! There was a backlash and Starbucks realized that people really like the familiar sliced cake! Within a short amount of time, the baked goods were back on the shelf. If you love their yummy pound cake you are going to love this recipe!

As I researched this recipe, I found that the majority of the Starbucks Iced Lemon Pound Cake recipes circulating the web actually originated from Todd Wilbur’s recipe at TopSecretRecipes.com. Todd has made a very successful career out of “cloning” popular recipes for cooks to reproduce at home. So this recipe is attributed to him.

Todd tells us on his site that the concentrated lemon flavoring works alongside real lemon juice to give the perfectly intense lemon flavoring needed for a killer clone.

My motto is: Be prepared! And in case of another disappearance of the infamous Starbucks Lemon Loaf, here’s a back-up version to keep your taste buds happy for years to come…
