OTIS LEE'S DETROIT FAMOUS POUNDCAKE
For 34 years, Otis Lee drew crowds to Mr. Fofo's Deli, his Midtown Detroit restaurant, with sky-high corned beef sandwiches and lemon-glazed poundcake. Mr. Lee, who died in April 2020 from coronavirus complications, passed the poundcake recipe along to his son, Keith Lee, who shared it with The Times. This moist and flavorful recipe isn't complicated, but it does require a few more steps than your average poundcake. It truly shines when the lemon glaze is poured over the warm, unmolded cake right out of the oven. (Do so on a platter, not on a rack. You want the extra icing to pool at the base of the cake, Keith Lee said.) Double the glaze if desired. (Watch the video of Keith Lee making his father's cake here.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch/12-cup Bundt pan.
- Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat on high speed until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse the beaters and in a separate large bowl, add eggs and beat until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (The fluffier the eggs, the fluffier the cake.) Add the beaten eggs, vanilla and lemon extracts to the butter and cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- In another large bowl, add cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. (Do not open the oven door before 20 minutes have passed, as the temperature shift can flatten the cake.)
- While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, and add lemon juice to taste and to adjust consistency. (Icing should be thin enough to drizzle, but still retain some body.)
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven, and unmold immediately to a plate or serving platter. Pour the glaze over the top. (Doing this when the cake is warm helps the glaze soak in.) Serve warm or at room temperature. To store, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for several months.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to mix together more evenly and will result in a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Start checking the cake for doneness about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
