Who doesn’t like a slice of pound cake with a cup of tea in the afternoon?
Heck as a Mum, I am grateful for anytime that I get to sit quietly & savour a cup of tea & a slice of cake!
In our house that usually means after the rugrats have gone to bed. That is if I have enough energy left after the craziness of the day 🙂
So bake this cake & hide it away until you can sit down & savour a bit of me time 🙂
It is lovely & decadent with a rich crumb, but the subtle lemon flavour with the slight tang from the greek yoghurt make this cake much lighter & more delicate than you would expect. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of earl grey tea – just saying 🙂
This cake yet again is super easy to make, do I bake any other way??
