Buttery Pound Cake,  a variation on  the traditional pound cake, uses simple ingredients for mild vanilla flavor with a hint of almond.

Buttery Pound Cake

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Buttery  pound cake is my recipe of the day  with  the blogging group Bundt Bakers. I am  hosting this   month so chose the theme. July is   usually filled with so  many patriotic cakes  it is unreal.  So  I thought about how nice it  would be  to have the freedom get away from that if we so chose. So “Let Freedom  Ring!”  (you see what I did there, right?)

Of course we can always  do something that reminds of the red  white and  blue but everything  else is fair game too. As they say “Free- it’s the American way!”

I decided to do a pound cake this month. The only other I had posted was an Eggnog  Pound cake which is great for around the  winter holidays. Pound cake is something I like to have a lot if I have an abundance of berries, which I can sugar up and spoon over the top with whipped cream  for an easy  shortcake.

This isn’t the traditional pound cake per se- that one will have a pound  each of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. And that’s it.

My buttery pound cake has a lot of the character of a plain pound cake but I have  played around with the ingredients just a touch.
