    THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH!! This cake is soo versatile! I'm making my brother's wedding cake and have been trying to find an easy 'fool proof' recipe to use as the cake base and this is it! Because of my brother's flavor request, I had made a few changes (but the cake is still beautiful without them) I have added 1 cup of white chocolate chips folded into the batter as well as 1/2 cup cream cheese per recipe. This will add the flavor punch that is needed and help it remain most. I'm also filling the cakes with raspberry buttercream and white chocolate mousse that I will stabolize with a little gelatin, then cover it with fondant, and finishing the cakes off with ribbons and florals. http://www.recipezaar.com/White-Chocolate-Mousse-209847?scaleto=32 Again, thanks so much! You have saved me a lot of time finding the right texture and taste. I was a bit nervous about the cake base recipe, but you have officially put my mind at ease!!

    This is simply scrummy, enjoyed by 8 women from work as our 'coffee' course to a pot luck dinner. The icing sugar was a surprise ingredient but gave the edges a tasty crispness. Thanks Mirj!

    This was totally wonderful. Easy to make, just the right size, great texture, great flavor. In fact, I deleted all the other pound cake recipes that were in my zaar cookbook to try...I don't need to look any further!
