How to Make the Very Best Pound Cake

Pound cakes are so versaitle and are welcome everywhere or anytime. They can be served as is or can be dressed up with fresh fruit, fruit spreads or toppings. This is an easy pound cake recipe that is delicious.

This Pound cake is the Very Best Pound Cake I have ever made.

No joking, the recipe has the perfect blend of ingredients to make a dense texture to hold up under any topping you may choose. No soggy pieces of bread under a fruit topping here! Nope, no way!!

It is sweet but not overly so and with a slight lemony flavor for a clean taste that will not cause conflict with your choice of toppings.
You might need to make two loafs when you make this because the first disappears so quickly.

We served it sliced, with strawberries and a dollop of whipped topping and it was just perfect. Easy dessert idea for a weeknight dinner or for a special dessert that will impress any guest.
