I was considering a lemon-poppyseed pound cake, but I also remember having a yummy cardamom pound cake once. Any other ideas?

Inorder to have a longer shelf life I make a simple syrup with some orange juice (or lemon) till it has a slight thickness. I poke lots of small holes in cake with toothpick and pour over. Cake will last at least 1 1/2 weeks unfridgerated. I like orange flavor with lemon cake. Can also use lemoncello.

Toasted walnuts are a nice addition. Wed Dec 11 14:23:38 -0800 2002 1583269 0 GG Mora
