HOUSTON – We have a very special taste tester on Allison’s Cooking Diary this week: Houston’s Morning Show anchor DaLaun Dillard!
A few weeks ago on the morning show, DaLaun mentioned how he loves 7up Lemon Pound Cake. I happened to be working that day and told him we would feature the recipe in Allison’s Cooking Diary.
Let me tell you, this recipe does not disappoint! The texture is wonderful, and you get the perfect hint of lemon.
