Lemon Pound Cake with Apricot-Pineapple Glaze

I made all four types of Pound Cakes in one day (It was a Pound Cake Marathon). They are Christmas gifts for Friends and Family. I made the 8" by 4" for the kids and the mini loaves for the gift packages. This was the kids winner by far. I did not add poppy seeds (Not due to possible drug testing but don't really know if they are good for kids).  I did not add the pure lemon extract because Safeway was out and instead added 2 extra TBSP of lemon juice. The full loaf baked for 40 min and the minis for 32 min.  I did not let them cool in pans but turned them out to wire rack. 

  I used Apricot-Pineapple Jam for the glaze with water instead of Cognac (Don't really drink or buy liquor). I brushed the bottoms and sides first to let the cakes absorb more and after about 15 minutes turned them over to brush the tops.

Very moist!
