This is a great, foolproof recipe of a delicious lemon pound cake. It’s easy to make and tastes divine in its purest form but can be paired with some fruits or lemon glaze. I love its moist and even texture!
The sweetness of the cake is perfectly balanced by the tartness of lemon, which is prominent when u take a bite but definitely not overwhelming. I’m thrilled to have found an occasional tea accompaniment and recommend trying this recipe atleast once.
