so it's monday afternoon around 4 and i am CRAVING something baked! i had no box cakes or cookie mixes and not enough chocolate chips to whip up some from scratch cookies. so i started flipping through a cookbook and got the idea of making a pound cake (since i had all of the ingredients) and i ALWAYS want something coffee flavored. side note: i think i am slightly obsessed/ addicted to coffee and coffee flavored things. anyway, i did a web search and found this recipe. i made the pound cake and it is good! how bad could it be with FOUR sticks of butter?! i cooked it a little too long for my taste but overall i would make it again.
my tips: i cooked it at 340* instead of 350* and i only cooked it for 75 min instead of 90 min. next time i will only cook it 60 min. it would be great served with raspberries or strawberries and even some homemade whipping cream. and of course a cup of decaf coffee would really round it off!and just for fun...a little treat for samuel's teachers: just cut two generous pieces, stick them in a bag and tie off with some string. (the cake makes so much it's fun to give some away!)
