I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

The cake was a little dry, but the glaze helped to make it more moist.

This lemon pound cake was a delightful treat! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was perfectly balanced - not too tart, not too sweet. I served it with fresh berries and whipped cream, and it was a hit with my family and friends.
