LEMON POUND CAKE - yummy

I made this Lemon Pound Cake yesterday and it was super delicious!!!!  I still have a fridge drawer full of lemons the size of grapefruit which our neighbor gave me from her tree.  So, I will be making it again for sure.  I broke down and bought a lemon juicer (hand) today and a zester to make my job a little easier.
