It’s been a while since I made a cake, or a pound cake in particular. Yesterday I desperately wanted to eat pound cake, but not just any type – I only wanted a plain, no frills vanilla pound cake – nothing more, nothing less.
So, relying on my usual pound cake recipe, similar to that which I use for all my other pound cakes, I whipped up a quick vanilla pound cake in the hour before heading out to meet Agustina for dinner.
Comforting, delicious, and soothing, a cake to be eaten with a hot cup of tea, in the company of friends and family.
