Recipe Description
The perfect warm weather cake, limoncello pound cake is light and full of lemon flavor. Perfect for an after dinner dessert or an afternoon treat with a cold glass of iced tea.
If you remember the homemade limoncello I made a few weeks ago, I’ve been enjoying a little here and there as a cold, sweet treat after dinner. There is only so much of it you can drink so I thought I would put it to good use in a recipe. Pound cake is one of my favorite cakes, I love the texture, but it is not the healthiest of cakes. There is a pound of butter in it after all, but one obviously is not consuming all of it (unless you eat the whole cake) and lets face it, we’re not watching our waistlines when we are eating cake anyway.
