Italian Lemon Pound Cake

So lemony and delicious. Some mentioned their apprehension about adding the ginger. Don't be! The ginger isn't stand out and it's not spicy / hot, I think it's enhanced the flavors. The cake was dense, but very moist! I didn't add the frosting, because like other reviewers, I don't think it was necessary and would have been way too sweet. It was delicious with just the glaze. It was a wonderfully lovely cake and I will make this again.
