I’m really hoping that I can convince you to come to the lemon side!  With spring just around the corner, this pound cake would be perfect for Easter. It’s easy to make and would be sure to impress your guests.

While the naked cake would be good in its own.  Adding some lemon glaze really kicks it up a notch!

Now you have one pretty lemon glazed cake to serve to guests (or keep to yourself!)  If you don’t share, I won’t tell anyone… mum’s the word!
