Glazed Lemon Pound Cake

makes 12 servings-
Cake:
2 1/2c biscuit mix
2/3c Splenda (or granulated sugar)
1/4c melted butter
3 eggs
3/4c milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp grated lemon peel (or orange peel)
1 1/2c applesauce

Glaze:
1/2c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice (or orange juice)

I have to be honest.. we didn't use the glaze and this bread came out moist and delicious.

Heat oven to 325*.  Spray bottom only of 9x5" loaf pan with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat all cake ingredients except the lemon peel with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly.  Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.  Stir in lemon peel.  Pour into pan.
Bake 45-50 min or till toothpick comes out clean. 
Cool 10 min.  Loosen sides of cake from pan with spatula.
Remove cake to cooling rack for 1 hour
In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice with spoon until smooth.  Drizzle over cake.
