Pound vs. Pound


It is still hard for me to believe, but Wildtree's Not Your Everyday Pound Cake beat mine from scratch for texture and taste. Of course, we KNOW it was faster than making from scratch, but sure enough, it won for flavor and moistness as well. We baked one of each yesterday and glazed both with a lemon icing, and Wildtree's was preferred. Go figure.

Lemon Drizzle Icing


In a small bowl combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel and enough pure lemon extract or juice (3 to 4 teaspoons) to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over cooled Not Your Everyday Pound Cake.





Crumbled Jam Pound Cake- Serves 8

* 1 box Wildtree Not Your Everyday Pound Cake Mix
* 1 jar of Wildtree Wildly Blueberry Jam or 9 oz. any flavor jam
* 1/4 cup flour
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons butter

Prepare the pound cake mix according to directions. Mix the flour, brown sugar and butter in separate bowl with pastry blender or by hand til crumbly. Set aside. Pour pound cake batter into greased baking dish and swirl 3/4 jar of jam into mixture. Sprinkle topping on pound cake and bake 45 minutes at 325 degrees.

I haven't tried the lemon glaze icing on this cake but lemon and blueberry are a great combo!
