Brown Sugar Pound Cake

Happy New Year 2013!! This is my first blog post for 2013.  

I think it’s good luck to have a sweet treat as a first post for the New Year, it’s a sign that this year will be sweet for us all, not salty, not sour, not bitter, but a very sweet year, or as the kids like to say, “SWEEEEET”.!!

Brown Sugar Pound Cake is a dense wonderful cake, perfect with tea, or accompanied with whipped cream and strawberries, as my daughter would prefer.

This cake doesn’t have a lot of extra liquid such as milk added to it, as other recipes call for, which makes it more like a bread than a light cake. It reminded me of a brown sugar cookie. It would also be nice drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce.
