This is a nice simple lemon pound cake. You can make an icing for it, or a simple lemon drizzle. I did neither. I found this recipe on recipezaar.com. It's just a simple light cake that's good for having with tea.

NOW that real fun. I have found out how easy it is to make sponge cake, which happens to be one of Kevin's favorite things. It's very easy and it worked the first time. We ate the cake with fresh strawberries and some ice cream. I look forward to making this again in the summer when all the raspberries are ripe.... yum.
