I have a meyer lemon tree in the backyard and it must have had hundreds of meyer lemons on it this season. I gave the majority of them away, and only used a few here and there for random baking projects. I thought it was about time to do them some justice, so I found a 7up pound cake recipe that looked simple enough and decided to nix the lime it called for and replace it with meyer lemons.
I don't have much to say about the cake.. the process was a cinch and it came out perfect. The only thing is, it's not super tasty. I've had a lot of pound cake in my time, and the one thing I can count on is it being dense and buttery-greasy. This cake, however, was just dense. Each bite required a healthy sip of water afterward. And the lemon flavor was lacking. Not sure why, because I used so many!
I guess this is what I get for being lazy; what I really want to do with my meyer lemons is make Martha's Meyer Lemon Cupcakes. I'll have to do that soon, because my tree is almost bare!
