We are going to some friends house tonight to have a meal and play cards. My MBH (much better half) just baked a (from scratch) homemade Butter Pound Cake. If it is half as good as it smells, it's gonna be wonderful.
I will enjoy an extra slice for all my friends on this forum.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
Oh sure ... torture us with no photos and no recipe ...
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

No, Pound cake... so named because every bite adds a pound to your weight!
My bride made one for a weekly family gathering two weeks ago and had several requests for more.

Taste test and report: Had one slice, it was wonderful, so I had another slice to double check. Sure 'nough, it was wonderful.

Love a good Pound Cake and a Lemon Pound Cake even more. Just by itself. And a good Lemon Chess Pie.
Gotta double or triple the amount of lemon though than most recipies call for. I like it stout
Pound cake with blueberry sauce(chunky, I don't strain, just cook with a little sugar), and whipped cream(I cheat and use RediWhip these days)
Mary,
You may not believe this, but my MBH used some blueberries in the cake, and carried the remainder of the cooked berries and sauce wih us. I don't know how much BB she added, but it was just right.
Lip smacking good.

I planted 3 blueberry bushes this spring, adding sulpher to acidify the soil. Hope they make it...
