As the weather gets cooler, so does my itch to bake something. From cookies to cake, I have the biggest sweet tooth! My family looks forward when I bake too. I love seeing their curious faces as they round the corner and smell something delicious baking in the oven.
One evening after a nice dinner at home, I decided to indulge in dessert. My son asked for cake. Then, I realized I was out of eggs!

After heading to the store to shop for ingredients, I lost my motivation to bake. To keep my family happy, yet make dessert simpler, I decided on this easy recipe instead-- using a store bought, frozen pound cake. Shhh...it's our secret!!
The citrus glaze is a tangy addition. It came together in minutes and makes the pound cake more moist.
Made from scratch works best when I have the energy, but sometimes you need a nice short cut!

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Place ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Glaze is thick and sticky! Place pound cake on a cooling rack or cake serving tray and pour glaze over the cake. Let cake set for an hour before slicing. Serve and enjoy! *Side note--This glaze would also be delicious brushed on top of fish with some salt and lemon pepper for an extra hint of flavor!

I am all for semi-homemade these days. That looks and sounds delicious.
