Golden Lemon Pound Cake
Years ago, while pastoring a church in New Mexico, I worked in a nursing home. For a Christmas party, I baked this pound cake. Everyone raved over the treats "my wife" made. When I told them I'd made them myself, they were astonished.—Douglas Jennings, Ottawa, Kansas

While the wonderful Meyer lemons are being harvested in my area of Texas I wanted to make a good lemon dessert that was quick and easy. I found an error that possibly made my cake rather crumbly and not as pound cake usually turns out: The list of ingredients does not include baking soda, but the recipe instructions did. Wondering if I should put some in, I did put about a scant teaspoon of baking soda, but I feel it should not have been included. Don't know if katlaydee3 did the same, but I had the same problem she described.
This year I am making and giving pound cakes for Christmas and this lemon pound cake recipe is fantastic! I will certainly make it again.
This did not come out right for me. It tasted really good, but did not have the texture of pound cake. It was crumbly and light and completely fell apart on me.
I have been searching for a moist pound cake that I could make from scratch. I enjoy baking and do it often. This recipe is by far the best I have made. I will make this again and again. I did cut the pound cake in half and made a cream cheese icing and added strawberry preserves in the icing and iced the middle part of the cake. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.
