Instructions
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine milk, vanilla and lemon peel; set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
Combine remaining sesame seeds with the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beating well after each addition.
Pour into a greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
Sprinkle with reserved sesame seeds.
Bake at 325° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with fruit if desired.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Port Wine, Moscato Dasti
Pound Cake works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Port Wine. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
