Where’s my carrot?

Let’s pick up from where we left off with the last post…how do we now enjoy a perfect pound cake.

Eat it plain or with a sprinkle of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar. The hint of orange will keep you coming back for more.

Enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee.

If you want to go a little fancy, drizzle some chocolate syrup on top of it. The orange and chocolate flavors marry well.

And, of course, my kids’ favorite! Pound cake a la mode. There’s nothing like moist, soft, freshly baked pound cake topped with choco-vanilla ice cream.

There are other ways you can enjoy this cake:

1. With rhum glaze: melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Add 3 tablespoons sugar and stir/whisk until melted. Turn off stove and add 3 tablespoons rhum. Brush on individual cake slices.
2. With whisky: take pound cake a la mode and drizzle a little whisky on top.
