Butter Pound Cake

Yum

November 7, 2014 By Nicole Nared-Washington 27 Comments

This is Butter Pound Cake is a classic dessert to serve around the holidays.

Butter Pound Cake
I know, I know. You love to hate me, right? I understand and I can live with that as long as you don’t completely hate me. But I know one thing, you are going to completely fall in love with me all over again once you’ve had this Butter Pound Cake. How do I know this, because I fell in love with whomever madk this for our family during holiday dinners. It’s an absolute staple on the dessert table. Well, just about any pound cake is an absolute must on the dessert table around the holidays. Typically I see 7 Up Pound Cake, regular Pound Cake with some sort of icing, or Louisiana Crunch Cake.  Personally, I like a plain ole moist pound cake. Like this one. With an awesome buttery taste and the dusting of angel dust (powdered sugar).

OHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Butter Pound Cake
You know, this recipe takes me back to the first time I made pound cake. Oh man. It was absolutely horrible. I feel that I followed the recipe the way I was instructed, but it didn’t come out looking like it did in the picture. It was as dry, hard, burnt in some places. Man, let me just say, you would not want to see it posted on a blog. Unless it was a blog for mistakes in the kitchen.  I can see it now in my head. Man its hard to believe that I use to really suck at cooking and baking. Believe me, I know you guys think I am wizard in the kitchen now but I haven’t always been that way. Let’s see, I called myself frying chicken in butter once because we didn’t have any grease. I was about 12 or 13 when I did that. I made pancakes without sugar or leavening agent, and when I made cookies they always came out hard and flat. Hell I even burned water. Trust me, its possible. I definitely had my trial and errors in the kitchen and I will continue to have those trials and errors. In fact, I am not always on my game when I cook something now. Sometimes I make food that is absolutely amazing and should have a price tag, but there are those times when there is no love, no color (in the poetic sense), and its just survival food. I have my down days.

Butter Pound Cake
Anywho, those down days help me to rejuvenate my mind so I can continue to come up with delicious recipes that are amazing but easy. Another thing, if I am being honest I am appreciative of the bad times when a recipe doesn’t come out quite right or if I make a mistake because it makes me better. I mean if you go through my recipes from the very first recipe to now, you can definitely see the growth in not only my photos, but also with content and recipe creating. Sometimes I browse my blog and my feelings start at

“Oh my gosh! I was horrible!” -to-

“I remember when I made that!” -to-

“I came a long way!”

I hope you can see the progress. What is most important is that you can taste the progress. Thanks!
