Pound Cakes in Jars
“This special pound cake recipe is from a wonderful woman with a heart full of love for her family. This pound cake recipe has been a double blessing for me because my father in law LOVES pound cake – and is notoriously difficult to buy for. Last Christmas, I presented him with an entire case of jarred pound cakes and let me tell you, he was proud as punch to be on the receiving end of that gift!” - Christy
Oreo Cookie Pound Cake
“What a great pound cake! It's super moist, chewy and delicious. The pieces of crushed Oreos in every bite are yummy. Seriously, when are Oreo cookies not good? We opted to bake the pound cake in a bundt pan and followed Janette's instructions. We used the extra batter to make cupcakes. Another option for the leftover batter... make a second (smaller) cake. This is going to be very popular.” - Kitchen Crew
