Excellent flavor, wonderful texture. I used a tube pan cause I never have good luck with a bundt pan.

This was a very good pound cake. It was moist and light and had great lemon flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This is a lovely, moist, lemon pound cake with a wonderful texture and great flavor. I will definitely make this again. I did not make the icing for this cake because we prefer our pound cake plain. Thanks for posting it.
