This is just another recipe that has stolen my heart you guys!!!

HOT DAMN you are in for a real delight when you whip up this olive oil pound cake. It has the perfect amount of lemon added to it so it isn’t overpowering at all. Just has a little extra love from the lemon juice and zest. You can totally add some more too if you are craving a little something more lemony. But I personally found this to be the perfect taste.

Now let’s dive into the consistency of this recipe. It has a crunch around the edges and the center is super moist and cakey. It goes so well with some yogurt smeared on top with fresh berries and even some maple syrup drizzled on top for a little breakfast type of action. And speaking of breakfast – definitely whip this up for your brunch plans or anytime you want to make a little something special for breakfast. Not to mention it freezes really well too. So you can make it and leave it in the freezer too if you want for a rainy day.

I hope you guys love this as much as we do over here!!
