Last week I went to a nearby produce stand and picked up some local strawberries. I like picking them, but I always pick too many and never know what to do with them all. So I just bought a box and instantly thought how yummy they would be on pound cake. I made the pound cake last night. The recipe is from a cookbook called "I Just Quit Stirrin' When the Tastin's Good." The author of the cookbook was a cook at The Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May, New Jersey. We would vacation there a lot when I was younger and the food is typical southern style...DELISH!
Anyway, I made the pound cake in this Nordic Ware flower pan I received as a shower gift. I had used it once before, but it was really hard to get the cake out of the pan, because of the detail. This time I used the Crisco No-Stick Flour Spray...and that was the ticket. It came out perfectly.
After dinner, I cut the strawberries up and mashed them and added a little sugar. I served the pound cake with strawberries and vanilla ice cream. It was so good...this is making me hungry, so I am going to go slice up a piece for Jeffrey and I. Enjoy!
P.S.
Check out the Nordic Ware website...there is a great segment on the 60th Anniversary and the co-founder Dotty Dalquist's visit on the Martha Stewart Show...plus lots of great recipes for bundt pans.
