Have a love for everything lemon? My latest obsession with lemon has had me create this delicious Lemon Pound Cake Recipe. It is perfect to serve after dinner on a warm Summer night or at a backyard cook out on Memorial Day.
The great thing about this season is the availability of fresh lemons. Though they can get a little pricey at the store, I’ve been buying them in bulk to save a little $.
