November 27, 2011
Nashville, TN – A homemade cake makes every holiday memorable. Although we love fancy cakes, the ones that become classics are often unpretentious and uncomplicated for their subtle rich flavor. Pound cakes fit that description perfectly. Originally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour, pound cakes have evolved into an abundance of delectable variations.
“I think a pound cake is appropriate for almost any occasion,” said the Martha White® baking expert, Linda Carman. “Serve toasted for breakfast, plain for dessert or paired with fruit, ice cream or sauces.
