Most Delicious Lemon Pound Cake
Ever since I have been little, I have loved pound cake. I mean, LOVED…There is just something about it. I tend to save making a pound cake for a special treat.
As you may or may not know we started using Essential Oils this past fall. Lately, I have been doing a little bit of cooking and baking with the oils. This week I decided to try a lemon pound cake using lemon essential oil.
You all! My family gobbled this Lemon Pound Cake up! You need to give it a try! And, if you are an Essential Oil user, you could easily change the flavor of the cake by using an orange oil instead of lemon!
