This is a copycat recipe that uses this site's basic dry pound cake mix as the basis for a good approximation of the Sara Lee pound cake.

Ingredients:

1 batch (500g) dry pound cake mix
3 eggs
1 tbsp golden syrup (corn syrup)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
juice of 1/2 lemon

Method:

Turn the pound cake mix into a bowl and allow to reach room temperature. Add the golden syrup and use a spoon to cream the mixture. Now add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Finally add and beat in the lemon juice.

Blend thoroughly then turn the batter into a well greased loaf tin. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 45 minutes, or until just cooked (and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly). Note, that for the closest approximation to the shop-bought cake you almost want to under-bake the mixture as it should be very pale and hardly coloured.

Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
