yummy lemon pound cake
Andy asked for a lemon cake for his birthday so at my sister's advise I searched on epicurious and read some reviews. I found one I thought looked good and wanted to pass it on because it was SO yummy and I highly recommend it.
I didn't have the pan they asked for so I made mine in a loaf pan (did I mention I made it twice this weekend!) but next time I'll double it and make it in a bundt pan.
I also didn't use the lemon verbena but used the extra lemon zest.
The first time I made it I used the glaze that was recommended but it made the cake soggy and was REALLY lemony. The second time I searched for my own glaze and found this one and it was so good. Instead of vanilla I used some fresh lemon juice till I liked how it tasted. Because of the butter it hardened over time so I think it would be really good drizzled over the finished cake.
The girls wanted to eat the lemons that were left over and Julia did not like it at all, I think this is why!!
This is probably a really easy recipe to most of you but I'm not really a baker so I am very excited when a recipe turns out and is really good. If you are a lemon lover like us then you will love it!

You Rosses and your lemon cakes :). Just kidding, it looks yummy (if you aren't in the mood for a chocolate cake that is). I am glad you found a recipe you liked so much!
