anita’s glazed lemon pound cake is wonderful.thanks Anita for your comments and for trying the recipe
I cant wait to make this LEMON POUND CAKE AGAIN
I made one slight change, and one error, but will not change a thing!
I used teaspoons in error instead of tablespoons for the baking soda and baking powder.
I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence to the glaze.
And oh yes, when I serve my piece of cake, I drizzle a little Meyers Lemon Juice on – It just makes me go and get a second piece when I finished eating the first…
Thanks Linda.
