Homemade pound cake

Description

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The cake is based on cream cheese, making it very tender inside. The lemons provide a pleasant tanginess, though they can be replaced with oranges. The finished cake should be cooled before serving. You can add icing or soak the cake with fruit syrup. Serve with tea or coffee.
