  1. This cake is nice, but I would venture that the finished product is more like a traditional British sponge cake, rather than a dense American pound cake. Unfortunately, I was expecting the latter but I was not disappointed. If you like lavender, this cake is worth making. I also had to cook mine an extra 20 minutes because mine was not done in the center after 1 hour baking time.
     
  2. We had seconds of this pound cake that we served with Orange Butter Recipe #134781. The only change I had was to bake it 20 more minutes then called for!
