This is a supreme pound cake recipe, chia. I don't eat sweets that much but everyone else in my family does. The in-laws were over for dinner and I served this for dessert. Both MIL and FIL went on and on about how good it was and had to have the recipe. It was rich, moist, and the coconut and lemon flavors paired very well together. My husband said the flavors were a little stronger the next day--he raved about it, too. Thanks for sharing your recipe. This was my third Pick-A-Chef selection. Thanks for all the fun.
