Sour Cream Sheet Pan Pound Cake With Lemon Glaze

Published by

It may look like cornbread made in a Pyrex dish, but it’s not. It is sour cream pound cake. I do not have a bundt or loaf pan. I had sour cream that I wanted to use before it expired so I looked up a sour cream pound cake recipe. Then I googled if you could make a pound cake in a different pan. I found a sheet pan pound cake recipe. So I combined the two recipes I found. It was delicious. Not too sweet, kind of reminded me of a sweet cornbread recipe I tried a long time ago. I was talking to my mom and sister-in-law about how I wished I had a glaze. My mom asked, “Do you have powdered sugar and lemon juice?” So I googled a recipe for lemon glaze and decided the amount of ingredients I needed based on taste testing. It made the cake even better!

However, I recently decided to give up coffee and drink all the tea I keep buying but never seem to drink. Here are a few teas I’ve been loving and a few others I tried. Teas With Half & Half or Milk Twinings English Breakfast Tea I learned from Anglophenia that English breakfast tea with half and half (or milk or whipping cream) is delicious. I of course use two Splendas. They refer to tea with sugar and cream as a “builder’s brew.” I also learned dunking a digestive biscuit is also amazing! You can also get those digestive biscuits at World Market. Republic of Tea Strawberry Chocolate You’ve probably seen this tea on a post or two before. However, add two Splendas and a little half and half, and you have a whole new experience. This is my dessert. I also drink this without sugar or …
