The hardest part is deciding on how bold you want the honey icing to taste
Yeah, the only person at the Café who likes that I used smooth Kentucky bourbon in the icing, to drizzle on this Lemon Ginger Pound Cake, is…well…me.
Then again, what I (or anyone else here at the Café ) likes doesn’t matter.
You can flavor the icing however you like! 😋
Rum?
Scotch?
If those options sound dreadful, maybe use water or lemon juice as the final ingredient (that we left blank) to highlight the lemon and raw honey flavors.
And, if anyone gives you a sardonic smile about how your icing tastes…
Don’t let it bum you out.
Because you will have more slices of this delectable Lemon Pound Cake to pair with your warm cozy drinks this fall! 🍂☕
