The citrus pound cake is a delicious dessert for breakfast or snack with a citrus fragrance. Light but with an intense flavor, it is made with the juice and zest of organic untreated citrus fruits, without butter and milk. Citrus fruits are evergreen plants with intoxicatingly fragrant flowers called orange blossoms that produce these delicious fruits rich in vitamin C.
