"Pound cake with a citrus glaze, moist and delicious. It tastes best made up the day before. This was my favorite cake as a child, at this point it's my second favorite. Anyway, I always asked for it on my birthday, but my twin always asked for Sour Cream Pound Cake, so we took turns. We grew up on an avocado ranch, and grew all kinds of citrus too, so this cake made frequent appearances in our family."
