After spending many years searching for a good 'pound' cake that wasn't dry, or flavourless, I decided to experiment and make my own recipe up with different flavour combinations to see if I could really get a moist cake. Once you've tried this recipe, I am sure you will make it time and time again. So here's the recipe, and enjoy!

175g, 3/4 cup softened butter
175 ml, 3/4 cup milk
290g, 1 1/2 cups regular sugar
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
zest of 1 lemon (or 1 orange)
juice of 1 lemon (or 1/2 orange)
226g, 1 3/4 cups Plain / All purpose flour (sieved)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tablespoons regular sugar (you can reduce amount if you don't want it too sweet)
1 1/2 tablespoons warm water
zest of 1 lemon (or 1 orange)
juice of 1 lemon (or 1/2 orange)

1. Heat oven to 160C, Gas 3, 300F. Grease and line your baking tin. See here for how to line. ** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, be sure to grease it very well as it can be hard to get the cake out of...
