Lemon Pound Cake

Truth be told, y'all know I can be a lazy gal, so I often toss all the wet ingredients into my blender! I have a lemon tree that produces the most delicious, thin-skinned Meyer lemons so this works for me! However, these directions are for a mixing bowl and the average lemons and this works great as well. This cake doesn't rise much, so if you have a large loaf pan and hungry mouths to feed, go ahead and double the recipe, you won't be sorry, just bake a little longer!
