This is my favorite treat to get a Starbucks, but paying $2.25 a slice,

 seems a bit pricey and so I thought I would google

 a "knock off recipe to satisfy my lemon tooth craving.

The real Starbucks lemon pound cake

STARBUCKS LEMON (knock off) CAKE

1 box  lemon yellow cake mix

1/2 cup olive (vegetable) oil

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

8 ounces sour cream

6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Icing

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3-4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

~

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray 2 loaf pans generously with cooking spray.

2. Place all cake ingredients in no particular order into stand or electric mixer, beating until well combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Divide cake batter between two prepared loaf pans spreading evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before removing loaves from pans.

3. To prepare icing, place powdered sugar into a large bowl. Drizzle in lemon juice stirring until smooth and thick. Should be a good drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over cakes and let set for 20 minutes for a firm icing. Otherwise slice while still wet if desired.

Makes about 24 slices

Here is my cake.
 It is so yummy, my family loved this so 

much, I think I will make it again!

Happy Spring!
