Whipped Cream Pound Cake
When I came back home last Monday night, I had this urge to make a pound cake! Call me crazy, but I did not know what came over me. All I know was that I wanted to bake a pound cake, so I heeded that call and went for it. I was not scheduled to go to the gym that day and all that thinking about cake perpetuated my lust to have it. The problem is, pound cake is very fattening because of all the sugar and butter that goes into it. Yes, truly fattening with a capital F. What I did was that I logged onto one of my favorite food blogs, Cookie Madness, and I found a butter-free pound cake recipe that I definitely needed.
The concept of replacing butter with whipped cream was interesting to me. I have always used butter in everything, and so I grew skeptical of the taste of this. I figured, anything “healthy” should be lacking in taste? Well, to my surprise it was not lacking in taste, but it has this lightness to it almost like a sponge cake. But unfortunately, somehow I over baked the cake, which really surprised me. The recipe called for 45-50 minutes. At 45 minutes the center of my cake was still wet, but the sides was not. The sides were brown and crisping because of the PAM cooking oil spray that I used. To continue, I left it for another 2 minutes in hopes that it would fully bake and unfortunately it over-baked!

I had to cut the sides of the cake because it almost looked burnt. The top and the sides were definitely over-baked, but the inside of the cake was still moist. It’s still very dried, but not as dried and burnt out like the sides. If I didn’t overbake the cake, I think it would have been a great recipe.
I blame my poor timing skills for this potentially delicious pound cake. I will definitely try this recipe again because I know how delicious it could taste! You can imagine how frustrated I was when it came out over-baked. Now I know never to bake after work. I’m already exhausted from the whole day, so it was just unnecessary to bake after work! Now I know, haha.
Until next time,

Does it taste like the Sara Lee pound cakes?
