Delightfully Delicious Butter Pound Cake – A Secret German Recipe

Since that day, I have made this cake countless times. It’s perfect for potluck dinners and social gatherings. I have a hard time making it and leaving it at home because then I want to eat the whole thing myself! That just wouldn’t be a good idea for my waistline. So, whenever I get the chance to make it, I will volunteer to bring a dessert. Sometimes I’ll even make one and just take it over to my sister’s house, knowing full well that she’s going to invite me in for coffee and some of the cake. Hey, whatever works. Then her kids can have the leftovers!

This is a nice cake to make for special occasions, or just because you are having a craving. It’s so simple…why not?
