Foodie Friday: Pound Cake Recipes & More

{ Via: Williams Sonoma

March 4th is National Pound Cake Day. I like to be ahead of the curve instead of behind it. Pound cake is not normally my jam, ( where's the frosting? ) But "Mr. Shop This" does love it. Before this post, I didn't realize how many types of recipes for pound cake there are.  This recipe roundup features some very chic cakes. So here's to expanding our baking repertoire, and to pound cake lovers everywhere. 



HERE: 19 Recipes & Cooks Tools

Blood Orange Loaf Cake
Perhaps the prettiest pound cake ever. I love the idea of a blood orange "anything." And they make the best margaritas!! This recipe is citrus packed with a tart blood orange icing. Yum.
Foodness Gracious

Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake
Lemons and blueberries go together like peas and carrots, only better. This easy recipe is bursting with blueberries and is said to be super easy to make.
Two Peas And Their Pod

Tangerine Sour Cream Pound Cake
Have you ever made anything with tangerines? I don't believe that I have, but I bet this is wonderful. The author states that creaming the butter and sugar is where one can go wrong. So don't go rouge....follow the directions.
Hummingbird High

 Almond Amaretto Pound Cake
Doesn't this look super moist? Must be all of that amaretto! It's topped with a warm buttery amaretto sauce. I'm in. How about you?
The Novice Chef

Coconut Lime Pound Cake
A cake that is perfectly dense and moist from Greek Yogurt. And how could coconut, limes, and a fabulous frosting be bad?
Creme De La Crumb

 Marbled Espresso Pound Cake
Talk about cake and coffee. Here's a recipe for both in one pan. It's said to be moist, dense, but not too heavy.
Bakers Royale

Gluten Free Lemon Pound Cake 
This recipe calls for organic ingredients like organic sugar, sea salt, organic lemons and more. I love that. It will be a treat for gluten free friends and family!
Simply Gluten Free

Caramel Macadamia Pound Cake
Said to be "plate licking" good, this cake tastes like brown sugar. And any cake with a sauce has to be good, right?
Simply Sated

Nordic Ware Heritage Loaf Pan
Elevate your next pound cake with the whirls and swirls of this glam golden pan.
Food52

Coconut Milk Chocolate Chip Pound Cake
This recipe has been adapted for ultimate coconut flavor and a long shelf life. Using Coconut Milk and Coconut Oil helps make this cake super moist. It will maintain its' flavor for a full week.
The Monday Box

Raspberry Swirl Condensed Milk Loaf With Cream Cheese Icing
There's a few ingredients to this recipe but the star must be that condensed milk. It's a magic ingredient for many baked goods and ice cream. I try to forget that it comes in a can. Yikes! Raspberry jam is swirled into the batter.
The Feed Feed

Neapolitan Pound Cake
This recipe is from "Sweet: Desserts from London's Ottolenghi ." It looks impressive but is quite easy to make.
Food52

Glass Cake Stand
These Mosser Glass stands take the cake....literally! 
Food52

Sauvignon Blanc Pound Cake
The perfect combination ~ dessert and cocktails! It only calls for 1/3 of a cup. I think I might be a bit more generous.
My Recipes

Strawberry Cheesecake Pound Cake
Well, isn't this the berries, as my Mom loved saying.  A cake that promises to be as tasty as it looks.
OMG Chocolate Desserts

Black Forest Pound Cake
An easy twist to the classic layer cake. Doesn't it look decadent?
My Recipes

Spiked Almond Joy Pound Cake
When was the last time that you had an Almond Joy? My Dad and I always split one bar. We both loved the mixture of coconut and chocolate. This cake features both but it is also laced with Amaretto. It sounds fabulous, doesn't it?
How Sweet Eats

Goldtouch Mini Loaf Pans
For gifting purposes, the mini pans make sense. Plus how cute are they?
Williams Sonoma

German Chocolate Pound Cake
One of my favorite layer cakes gets a make over as a pound cake, but with all of the classic flavors that we love.
