This is an excellent pound cake. I prepared it as one of our Thanksgiving desserts and was not disappointed. I dusted the full cake with powdered sugar and garnished with pecan halves for presentation on the buffet. For serving, I added dollops of real whipped cream and drizzles of caramel sauce. It was rich and heavenly. Mmmm. Thanks for posting. ***editted to add***I used the caramel sauce from recipe #77408 to serve with this pound cake. Yum.
