For when you need an extra pound or two!

Yes, it’s a pound cake and I have totally figured out why these delicious cakes are called pound cakes. I used to think “pound cake” meant the cake weighed about a pound, and it might, but I am convinced it is only because when you eat a slice, you gain a pound! Actually, the term pound cake comes from the older European version of the same, one pound of each ingredient resulting in a four pound cake: one pound butter, one pound sugar, one pound flour, one pound eggs, …holy poundcake! Well, this version isn’t quite that heavy, thankfully.

What makes this cake perfection is the white chocolate mixed right into the batter and its’ white chocolate glaze. This pound cake is nothing short of wonderful. The recipe is moist, not dry and crumbly like some pound cakes can be.

Diet food this is not, and these dense delectable slices will tempt you to take another and then another, but instead, spread the joy or else it may be your hips that are doing the spreading!

Enjoy!
