Reviews
I have been making this recipe for many years, and it is always a hit. Everyone loves it, even served without the fruit. Sometimes, I use vanilla ice cream. My husband loves to toast it and add butter. (a little unhealthy, but delicious) It is so easy and quick. However, it did stick to my pan quite a bit. What would happen if I very lightly greased the pan?
I love this recipe and I’ve been making it for several years. It is very easy and makes a tasty pound cake.
I have not tried this but the recipie looks good. Just didn’t want a bad review here because the recipie is not incomplete.
The recipe was easy but it is incomplete. When is the sugar and vanilla added? No mention of this. I made the cake but have not tasted as yet. I will let you know later.
Thank you.
