_MG_0021-edit
Little did I realise , I will be writing this post with a pound cake recipe..  I made this Cake to impress my little one & H , who wanted me buy them a second pound cake slice from Starbucks over the weekend..  I turned down their request and told them they will get one from my kitchen the next day…

Crayon Promise V !! is all I told him…  Don’t you laugh reading crayon promise.. I have been trying to teach lil V to keep up ones words… That’s how.. the crayon promise took form . Like a Good Mummy , I decided to make one straight away… and I knew I have  a recipe that is already posted in my space before – Pound Cake. Made  healthy substitutions to suit  the available ingredients in my store.

  • Prepare a lemon glaze by mixing icing sugar and lemon juice together. Make sure to mix well without any lumps. Pipe all the mixture into a zip lock bag and hold it tight .
  • Snip off the edge to make a little hole . Pipe even lines over the cake and let it sit aside to set.
  • Cut and serve with Tea or just like that …… However you like Smile

  34. What a gorgeous pound cake! Oops, it's me who also buy pound cake from Starbucks too…because I'm not a baker. I always wish homemade pound cake like this – my favorite is actually lemon pound cake and when I saw this picture I got so excited. Looks so pretty and delicious. One day I'm trying homemade!!
