This is a common recipe taken to families that lost a loved one, if someone is ill, and church socials. This is a moist pound cake and very good. **Sometimes I add lemon/orange zest to the cake batter and the glaze. **Sometimes I add vanilla extract to batter and some mini chocolate chips. I will do a vanilla or chocolate glaze. *** For chocolate pound cake: Add: 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup and 1 cup mini chocolate chips to batter. For Glaze: Add: 1/3 cup cocoa powder, (skip milk), use vanilla, add chocolate syrup to get desired thickness of glaze.

How To Make funeral pound cake with glaze

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. grease and flour a tube or a bundt pan.

Step 2

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside. Cream sugar and Crisco shortening together; add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue to mix, start alternating adding flour mixture, then milk, a little of each at a time ending with the flour mixture. Add lemon and orange extracts. Batter will be thicker than a regular cake batter. Pour into a tube or bundt pan that have been greased and floured.
Step 3

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Step 4

Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, powdered sugar, butter, milk, lemon or vanilla flavoring. To avoid lumps, sift the powdered sugar before trying to mix with butter and liquids. Continue to add milk a little at a time until it is of a consistency that will pour over the cake but not be too runny. Pour slowly over the cooled cake, glaze will harden slightly and leave you with a moist cake.
