"If you're looking for a deliciously simple pound cake recipe that you can bake from scratch, then gather your plentiful stock of flour, butter, and eggs to make this Sweet Southern Pound Cake. Unlike the traditional recipe, which calls for a pound of each of the big three, this easy dessert recipe is slightly lighter on those ingredients, but is still as pleasantly dense and tasty as the original. The addition of whipping cream, which is an enhanced difference from traditional pound cake, guarantees that extra rich moistness you desire. Sliced thick or thin, this sweet treat can be served as a delightful dessert for any occasion. A vanilla and butter pound cake is one of those familiar favorites from childhood that everybody still loves, probably because there's so many ways to make it even yummier. Whether or not you use the optional glaze, you can eat this cake just the way it is, top it with fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite syrup, or turn it into an exquisite ice cream cake sundae the whole family will devour...."
