Summer Pound Cake Recipe

A cake is a versatile dessert that can be paired with just about anything. For a sweet dessert, I go with a summer pound cake. I love the moisture that comes in a pound cake if done correctly. Add a little lemon flavor and you’ve got a delicious summer treat. You can pack a slice or two of the pound cake along with some iced tea, fresh berries and whipped cream for the perfect summer picnic. You can even serve with ice cream for a really moist and cooling dessert.
