Pound cake recipes are often passed down through the generations. This a firm cake for those who are not familiar with pound cake. This cake is not too sweet, so you may want to top fresh fruit, or dust with powdered sugar. Refrigerate overnight before serving.Here’s another great recipe for pound cake. Decorate with reserved mandarin orange slices. Repeat until all layers are used, spreading last bit of frosting on top and sides of cake. Place another layer cut side down on the first one, and top with more frosting. Place one cake layer on a cake plate cut side up spread with frosting. Stir in the pineapple with juice and the drained mandarin oranges, reserving about 5 mandarin orange slices to decorate the top of cake.

I even made two videos “before and after” and since I didn’t know how to merge the two, you will have to watch both. I recently ran across this Million Dollar Pound Cake recipe in a Southern Living cookbook and remembered that I baked and shared this cake when I first started blogging. One thing I love to do during the winter months is thumb through my cookbook collection for new cake recipe inspiration since cake is my favorite dessert.


I wish I could say I have absolutely no plans for the next two days but at least this weekend will be filled with fun, friends and family. With all the freezing rain and hours of traffic I’ve suffered through, I just want to enjoy an evening of snuggly pajamas, hot apple cider and a crackling fire. Happy Friday Friends! This week has been one that I am glad to check off my list.
