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!

Update:
This Karo corn syrup is amazing! I decided to add it to my recipe since I picked it up at my local supermarket. Corn syrup apparently slows down the crystallization of white sugar, which means soft and moist brownies! Sugar usually acts as a binding agent to the mixture, which is why it gets hard. I did not know this until I looked it up online. My blondie looks thicker and it was oh so moist. Everyone that tasted it wanted more.
