Now I know why they call it Pound Cake...

Hi everyone...



For the Grebner Christmas we had a very nice Soup and Sandwich buffet hosted by my Brother Stan, his wife Jan and their daughter Meghan. Soups were Cheeseburger Soup (topped with pickles and tomatoes - just like a cheeseburger, Italian Wedding soup and some from "scratch" Tomato Soup... It was VERY good. We were asked to just bring desert, so due to some allergies taking a pre-made desert can get pretty dicey, so I did a from scratch Pound Cake... WOW, now I know there are two reasons why they call it pound cake... 1) The amount of weight you will gain per piece of it you eat (just kidding) and #2) You have about a pound each of butter, eggs sugar and flour. See the attached link for the ingredients and instructions...(credit to Southern Living Magazine for the recipe)




Mixed up some Confectioner's sugar, milk and orange zest for the glaze, then nested some Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries in the glaze..


Looks pretty tasty, huh???





Saved the rest of the berries to accompany the cake in a little whipped cream and mint leaf for presentation...









Got some nice video of Ike hunting at Hickory Grove last week... Look for it in a couple days.

Until then, "Ike find that bird!"
