Pound Cake

Since being unemployed - or should I say home employed - I have been able to explore some of my other passions, like baking and cooking. Prior to unemployment, the job usually sapped all of my motivation and by the end of the day, could barely force myself to make a meal.

Not so anymore.

Today, I cracked open my James McNair's Cakes book and decided to give it a go on the Pound cake. The recipe did not look that hard at all. And best of all, I had all of the ingredients on hand.

What can I say about a batter that I would have loved to have eaten the entire bowl of? Such simplicity. If you have the book, the recipe is on page 23. I actually substituted 1/4 cup of the sugar with 1/4 of Splenda. Trust me, you could not tell in the batter. I am anxiously waiting for this delight to come out of the oven.

I wonder if I will be able to wait for it to cool.
