Lemon Pound Cake:

When the boys of the house are settled in school and office then mommy time begins. I have my fellow moms and we meet while in a week to chat, laugh, gossip and of course to taste some yummy food. Last time it is a simple tea party, for that, I bake the Lemon pound cake which is absolutely yummy and the tingly smell of lemon is a fresh wave in every bite. We are calorie conscious moms so I didn't use any glaze. Simple fresh lemon flavored pound cake. This cake is perfect for spring and summer tea parties and gatherings. Sometimes a simple thing hits the show.
