MY HUSBAND LOVES POUNDCAKE SO I WENT SEARCHING FOR A GOOD RECIPE AND FOUND THIS ONE. IT WAS DELICIOUS. IT MADE 2 SO I FROZE ONE. I SERVED IT WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES & WHIPPED CREAM, HEATED IT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND SERVED IT WITH A SCOOP OF ICE CREAM & DRIZZLED WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND TOASTED WITH A LITTLE BUTTER WITH COFFEE AT BREAKFAST TIME. REALLY, REALLY GOOD!

About This Recipe

"This is the most ultimate rich dense buttery pound cake! no lein this cake but the eggs--- for best results this cake should be baked a day ahead and wrapped in plastic, or it can be frozen for up to 3 months, servings is of coarse estimated --- this is wonderful served with a blueberry or strawberry sauce :)"
