\"\"<\/a>Today I made a delicious Southern dessert, Pound Cake from page 218.<\/p>\n

I must share something embarrassing with you, dear readers … this was the very first pound cake I’ve ever made!\u00a0 I know, I know, there’s no excuse for this, but in my defense I grew up in the heart of Entenmann’s land (I usually don’t mention specific brands, but Entenmann’s is good enough to give them a plug free of charge).\u00a0 Entenmann’s pound cake is moist and delicious and we used to eat a big piece of it with our coffee every Sunday after dinner at my grandmother’s house when I was growing up.\u00a0 So if I was ever craving pound cake, I just went to the store and picked one up.<\/p>\n

Well I’m afraid that I must bid adieu to my good friends at Entenmann’s because — now that I’ve tried Martha’s recipe — those lazy days of store-bought pound cake are behind me!\u00a0 This cake is dense and chewy without being at all dry.\u00a0 It’s just rich and buttery and perfect and also easy to make as long as you make sure that your eggs and butter are at room temperature, because Martha warned that the batter could curdle if they weren’t.<\/p>\n

Martha’s recipe gives you several variations that you can try.\u00a0 I did the traditional, but I jazzed it up with some fresh strawberries in homemade strawberry syrup and a whipped cream that I added a little bit of sour cream to so it would have a nice sweet and tart balance.\u00a0 Yum!!!\u00a0 Just look at that picture … don’t you wish you were eating this right now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
