During those days when it was a little hard to see through the fog, I found a way to help make the day seem a little brighter…cake!  I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with different recipes for pound cake and this one has proven to be a winner.
 
The inspiration for this recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks, Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. I changed it just a tad with a bit more brown sugar and vanilla. Those small changes were just what this cake needed!

    Very good cake! I did add some cinnamon & apple pie spice to the batter & used vanilla bean paste which elevates any recipe to greatness! Have made this cake twice & plan to make it many more times!

    Made this cake over the weekend and it was a hit. It’s super moist and delicious. Me and my mother thought it was a little too sweet but it was eaten by all without complaint!

    I made this cake and omg it was absolutely delicious delicious! Now I made a few changes by using more brown sugar 1/2 and by adding different extracts. I used about 1/2 teaspoon of maple,almond, and lemon. What a great cake will be making it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks for sharing!
