Iced Lemon Poppy seed Pound Cake

 I feel like I'm living in a summer that never ends. It is already past mid-August and yet the temperature refuses to drop, my air conditioner is on overdrive, and baking anything with chocolate in it has lost all appeal to me.

So, instead, I've been on a lemon kick recently. I've been wanting to get more "seasonally appropriate" recipes under my belt, and since fall seems forever away, citrus was the clear answer.



This pound cake is adapted from a recipe by Sally's Baking Addiction. I love trying her recipes, she does great step-by-step guides, and her blog allowed me to really flex my baking muscles. 

After shamelessly slicing up the cake for a quick photo shoot, I wrapped it up and brought it to a friend's house as a goodbye treat for another friend who is moving away. Maybe it was the vodka, or maybe it was just our jovial nature, but everyone who had a slice absolutely adored this cake!
