Lemon poppy seed pound cake

There is nothing better than sitting by the fire place, with a slice of pound cake, and a hot cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate. While some people think that there is nothing special about pound cake, I believe, you really can’t bake a better cake, for a cold winter-y day. Therefore, you won’t be surprised to know, that pound cakes are my favorite winter cakes. Easy to bake, delicious, rich, and tasty, what else do you need on a rainy day?Lemon and poppy seeds goes great together. The lemon completes the poppy seed perfectly, and gives a sweet and sour flavor. If you don’t like poppy seeds this cake is not for you, but if you are a fan of the little black seed, this cake is going to win you harts, and belly.
