This Pound Cake is my favorite. It’s probably because it’s the most calorie ridden cake on earth! Sometimes, you just have to enjoy each bite, then go for a long run. In this case, probably two long runs. I usually just make the pound cake, then top it with berries and Whipped Cream. This time, I decided to throw some berries into the batter. It’s quite delicious. This cake is also very good served with Caramelized Peaches. You can also put a scoop of ice cream on the top, and drizzle with Hot Fudge. However,the cake is delicious right out of the pan, without any toppings! Bake this cake in a large bundt pan, or 2 bread pans. I like glaze over the top, but you can also sprinkle the hot cake with Cinnamon and sugar, or confectioners sugar as well. If I do this again, I will probably just follow the initial recipe, because it will probably keep a little longer without the berries in the cake. With only two of us in this house, that’s important!
It’s great without the raspberries added as well.
The batter is fantabulous!
