Pound Cake!
The food blog theme seems to be continuing around here. If you’re dieting or don’t like dessert, just move along (and if you don’t like dessert, I can’t imagine why you read my blog). Knitting content will continue as soon as I have something new to share (and no, I don’t think another inch on a plain sock is interesting enough to share). I saw this recipe at Smitten Kitchen last Friday and it looked so good that I stopped at the store on my way home from work for a couple of things I needed to make the cake and we had pound cake for dessert. I had never made an actual pound cake before this one (i.e. no leavener except the air you beat in and the quantity of ingredients), but SK’s recipe is so clear that I didn’t have any trouble. Plus, the strawberry coulis is wonderful. It’s made with fresh strawberries and just tastes like summer, which is always a good thing this time of year. If you’re looking for a great cake (that is really easy) for dessert or a party, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this one.

this recipe looks really good, and quite similar to one i have been making for years. mine uses less butter, and self rising flour. i’ll have to try yours, and see which one i like best. i love cake. especially for breakfast.

I made this on Sunday-best pound cake that we have had in a while. It took alot longer to bake than the recipe said though. Than because I had some serious baking mojo going I made the Maragita cookies -I think they need a little more lime but love the sweet and salt that the cookies were rolled in before baking. and the next day some benne wafers and some gingersnaps from the Chicago tribune food section. those were the best too-very spicy with hot pepper in them
