i shared this on what’s for dinner mom.
and also…
What a scrumptious thing to wake up to … I can almost smell it baking!
Thank you for sharing the recipe … also admiring how you put the amounts of the ingredients onto the photo … I am so not there yet in tech savy!
Wishing you and yours a happy day!
Mmmmm! Pound cake…. last time I made one it came out beautiful on the outside but the center was a gooey lump. I thought it was because I used a glass baking dish but I see you used one too. And your cake looks perfect. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. Since it isn’t too hot yet to run the oven I’ll try your recipe tonight and see how it turns out.
let me know how it turns out! fingers crossed for you (though it’s hard typing like this! haha)
Yummy! This is one of my fav desserts. I have my summer off from teaching and cooking is on my agenda to do during the break. This will be my next domestic project…and then I will run for an hour afterward because losing weight is my other goal this summer!!
Nice recipe! Just thought I’d drop by and offer up some blog love!
I love love love poppy seed cake! I did a book report in 3rd grade on a book called poppy seed cakes and baked poppy seed cake for my entire class.
Thanks for linking up to Just Another Meatless Monday and I hope to see you next week!
