CHEF COMMENTS

This pound cake doesn't use the traditional pound of butter, it only uses half a cup! But you can definitely taste the butter in it, it's delicious and moist, only better for you. Top with fruit, use in a trifle, or just have a plain slice with coffee. (Photo taken by my dear friend, Nikki.)
