Best Iced Lemon Bundt Cake EVER!!!

The other day I got a call from my hubby pleading with me to please "make something yummy" as he had a carry-in at his work the following day.  With only a few hours before dinner I had to do a quick scan of the pantry to determine what delectable baked good I could whip up...this one won and was a HUGE hit!  It reminds me of the old soft lemon cookies that a company named Archway used to sell, they were my favorites growing up!!!

Cake:
1 cup butter (only the real stuff!) Softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp lemon extract
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk (or my fav, 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream!)
1 T grated lemon peel (or 5 drops Lemon Essential Oil)

Glaze:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 T. water
1/2 tsp lemon extract
3/4 powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.  Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, sift and add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.  Stir in lemon peel.

Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Mix together glaze and drizzle over cake...voila!

I didn't know this cake can actually be dark in color. I am sure it tastes better. I have tried one before in some place and I thought it tasted bland. It's also pale. I am not sure if it's undercooked but maybe that is just the way it is. Now I see this picture and I think this is something I would want to have maybe later when I can't stand my diet anymore. Forget it, I think. I am going to get a cake for myself. It has been a while. I hope it doesn't hurt me or cause some allergies again but I really need to cut down on sugar though.

I love the word "incidental". I always use it instead of "accidental" which denotes something that might have a tragic impression. I call myself an incidental artist mother. When I learned I am going to have a child, I thought it will be the end of me. I thought I won't be able to accomplish things. It turned out the opposite happened. The only reason we don't hear from our friends who just turned new moms is because they are too happy and contented just doing their best for their children. Surprisingly, they become better with what they do and they finally pursue things which they can never imagine they will be able to do before because now they are very inspired.
