Mar 15, 2018, Updated Apr 07, 2024 I’d join her around 3 o’clock with a cup of very weak tea (lighthouse tea, people call it in the Maritimes, because it’s “blinkin’ near water!’) and a slice of grocery-store pound cake served on a tissue. It was lemon cake with a thick lemon frosting, and I loved it. Whether it’s my Cranberry Lemon Cake with Lemon Icing, or Simple Lemon Pound Cake, I’ve made many iterations of lemon cake. But… I like to branch out from time to time with other citrus (no matter the fruit, every time it is made in grandma’s memory). This version is an orange pound cake with deliciously drippy orange icing. This sunny cake is moist and tender and perfect for an afternoon cup of tea – weak or strong.
