Baked this simple apple soft pound cake with freshly grated lemon zest thus giving a subtle aromatic flavour. The apple crisp with lemon juice in the cake also had a lovely light effect that hits the taste buds. As I can’t wait to taste this soft cake immediately I cut it straight away just after cooling down and you can see from the picture the cake looks crumbly and seems like falling apart. So please remember to chill the cake first to get a perfect cut with a serrated knife.
