This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and it was way too dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit too bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I might try it again with more spices next time.

This cake was a bit too tart for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I might try it again with less lemon juice next time.

The glaze was a bit too runny for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I might try it again with a different glaze next time.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I might try it again with a different flour next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I might try it again with less sugar next time.

This lemon pound cake was a hit at my last dinner party! It was moist and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The glaze added a beautiful shine and extra layer of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
