Not going to lie, recipe tasting this pound cake recipe was hard. Mentally hard. I had to wake up early in the morning so that by the time the pound cake was cooled and glazed, I immediately dropped it off at the office before I could think to take a slice for myself. It’s just that good!

Since I made this recipe close to Mother’s Day, my coworkers alluded to the fact that it’s the perfect Mother’s Day dessert! And, they are right - because what mother doesn’t love moist pound cake and citrus!? If anything, my mother first introduced me to pound cake - lemon pound cake in fact!
