    Few days back when i was cleaning my fridge, i found few bits and pieces. I found a jar of the homemade candied citrus peels. I decided to use it in a cake and hence i made this one.

    This cake is a rich and buttery cake. It will be a little dense because all pound cake will be a little dense. A slice of this is great for breakfast along with a cup of coffee or tea.

    Ingredients for making citrus pound cake

    Flour - you can use half regular flour and wheat flour.

    Butter - for making pound cake you need a good amount of butter. use unsalted butter in this cake. 

    Orange Zest - 1 tsp

    Eggs - eggs are important in this recipe for texture. You can make pound cake eggless. Here is the recipe.

    Yogurt or Sour Cream- yogurt or sour cream is added in cake to make the cake soft and tender.

    Candied Citrus Peel - I used my homemade citrus peels. 

    For Glaze, mix icing sugar with orange juice till it is thick and smooth.
