    Oh! This would be a nice cake for afternoon tea! I've started loving pound cake recently, I guess I've so much influence by Passionate about baking! I shall try out your recipe as well. Thanks for sharing! Do you think I can bake this in a shallow dish to become a butter cake? I tried using my lemon pound cake recipe to bake in a shallow pan and the texture become soft and fluffy. That's so good too!

    Hi Kitchen Corner,

    Hehehe! Actually, after I saw you bake Lemon Pound Cake then I started craving. My family don't really like lemon cake but they love this. This taste great with the citrus taste of a lemon and a light taste of tea which you wouldn't get sick of it.
    You can bake it in a shallow cake tin too.

    Hi Jess

    This cake has a light citrus taste of a lemon and a light taste of tea which you wouldn't get sick of it. You will sure ask for more.
