Updated on May 2, 2012

I have made this Lemon Pound Cake the same way for 40+ years. It was a recipe given to me by my ex-mother-in-law. It's always been a favorite with my family. If you don't have lemon extract, you can use juice from a lemon and a little lemon zest. *******Why not try a strawberry version. Use a good brand of white cake mix. Substitute the lemon jello with the strawberry jello and use 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract instead of the 1 tablespoon of the vanilla and one of the lemon.******
