This is my sweet little juicer that I scored at an antique store. It was so pretty that I just wanted it to sit on my shelf. Happily, though, I also use it.
I have been wanting to try out a lemon pound cake ever since I began anticipating spring. The problem being that Eric and I couldn’t possibly finish a whole pound cake between the two of us but we had guests and so I finally got to make one.
Perhaps the real reason for wanting to make a lemon pound cake is that I get to use my zester and my little juicer. The juicer I found at an antique store and thought it was so adorable that I couldn’t resist buying it. It is true that a fork works just as well to juice a lemon, but why use a fork when you could do it so much more beautifully? I think that every kitchen should be equipped with these two tools.
Served with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and lemon curd, the pound cake was all I had hoped for and more. It was quintessentially spring. (I more than doubled the lemon zest that went into the cake and it was perfect.)
Wish we were neighbors–you could have shared with me. Love ya and miss you guys!
I want to know where you got that plate.
Why do you have to post things like this when I’m so vulnerable to cravings??? I do not have the time or ingredients to make this tonight and I’m going to be dissatisfied until I do.
The plate was another Goodwill find.
I love that picture….the color combo is wonderful. I have a juicer of same color and slightly different style….and the microplane zester is a must have…I use it almost daily.
I am now a follower of your website. Love it! I am in charge of dessert for Easter–I just may add this into my top list to choose from.
