Here’s another reason to love sweet tea! Lemony pound cake, rich with the refreshing flavor of iced sweet tea and topped with a freshly squeezed lemon glaze. This recipe calls for an extra large, 15-cup Bundt pan.
I have made this cake before with the Swans down cake flour, my cake came out perfectly. When i bake my cakes i always have to lower the temp on my oven. My oven cooks really fast for some reason so i learn to lower the temp. Once i start smelling my cakes then when i start checking my cakes then i turn the temp up a knotch or two.
In the Sweet Tea pound cake can I use regular salt instead of Kosher salt
Hi Constance, Yes you can use regular salt in place of Kosher salt. Happy baking!
Question? Can you use Earl Grey tea bags? Would you still use the Lemon glaze or something different?
Most certainly Janice, Many Earl Grey drinkers enjoy their cup with a fresh slice of lemon. Happy baking!
I double-checked that I had followed the recipe. When I tested the cake at 75 minutes, the top was a dry crust but the skewer had batter on it. I went 7 more minutes and took it out because it appeared to be burning at the edges. When I inverted the cake 15 minutes later, the middle was uncooked.

I have made pound cakes for years using all purpose flour without any problems when I switched to swan down cake flour all my cakes never come out right I will never use or recommend this cake flour to anyone else.

Sweet tea lemon pound cake
Says use a 15 cup bunt pan?
Hi Diana, If you do not have a large Bundt, you can use a standard size but make sure to not over fill the pan. You should start testing for doneness at 1 hour of bake time. A standard size Bundt pan should hold 10-12 cups of batter. Happy Baking!
The first step has us line a baking sheet with parchment paper but no where in the recipe does it say what to do with it.
Hi Michelle, In Step 5 you invert the Bundt cake onto a wire rack that is placed over the baking sheet. The baking sheet is to catch dripping from the tea syrup and lemon glaze. Happy Baking!
