Y’all can take your chocolate cakes with thick layers of chocolate frosting, but I’ll take a vanilla cake over chocolate any day.  And I think pound cake is the absolute bee’s knees.  I love a cake that is dense, full of vanilla flavor, and so hearty that you can practically taste the butter. This recipe does not have a pound of butter in it (as some pound cakes do), but it turns out the most tender cake anyways.  Buttermilk and plenty of eggs help with that nice texture.

Add some berries to your slices, and I’d add a big spoonful of sweetened whipped cream too.  If you can handle turning your oven on this time of year, this happens to be the perfect summery dessert.

Thank you to Miranda from the CookieDoughAndOvenMitt.com blog for shooting beautiful photos of this pound cake for me.  I think Miranda certainly captured how delicious it truly is!
