It is no secret how much I love lemon. In savory dishes, in desserts, in any way I can get it - LOVE the lemony goodness. I also love lime, but usually end up baking more with lemons. This recipe is a delightful mixture of the two and results in a tasty harmony of citrus.
The texture of this cake is part quick-bread, part pound cake. The sour cream keeps it moist and light and the glaze just adds that extra punch of citrus I love. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

And now for an ode to lemons...
Cutting the lemon
the knife
leaves a little cathedral:
alcoves unguessed by the eye
that open acidulous glass
to the light; topazes
riding the droplets,
altars,
aromatic facades.
- An excerpt from "A Lemon" by Pablo Neruda
Oh how grandiose and delicious the lemon...ok, the entire poem goes a little nutty about this guy's love of lemons, but I get where he's coming from! I've made quite a few lemon-based recipes over the years, here are a few I'll share again:
Addicting Lemon Creme Cake
A Thanksgiving Lemon Mousse
Classic Lemon Bars
Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes
Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake
Lemony Baked Tilapia
Lemon Shrimp Salad with Couscous
You get the idea, and I have many more to share, but for the love of lemons, I'll leave it at that!
