GOLDEN POUND CAKE

Golden Pound Cake image

Moist, refreshing and lemon-flavored, this sunshiny cake just couldn't be much quicker to put together! It's a summer favorite with us. I sometimes substitute orange cake mix and a can of orange soda for a flavorful variation. -Vicki Boyd, Mechanicsville, Virginia
