This is an easy two step pound cake recipe. Pound cake is an annual family tradition as a dessert in our family. We always serve it with Peppermint Stick Ice cream and I have to say it is the highlight of the holiday season! If you have never tried the combination you MUST.
I highly recommend Swan’s Peppermint Ice Cream as it is my favorite brand, Edy’s also makes a good variety. Another great idea would be this Fresh Blueberry Sauce/Topping
This two step pound cake is simply delicious! Perfect for any holiday or celebration.
There’s a reason pound cakes have become synonymous with the South: They’re easy and oh-so-good. You won’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to make this delightful dessert that just so happens to double as a breakfast food. As long as you have a heavy-duty stand mixer with a 4-qt. bowl and paddle attachment you’ll be well on your way to a fantastic pound cake in record time.
