Spiced Pound Cake image

From the first time my mother baked this cake years ago, it became a family favorite. Fruit and spices add a twist to a traditional pound cake, and the glaze has a hint of lemon. You can substitute other flavors of baby food, like apricots, for the peaches. We often serve this dessert for Thanksgiving.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked it, so I'll try again with a lower oven temperature next time.
