this weekend i tried something a little new....its been a while since i have had pound cake, and i was really wanting some almond pound cake. the first time i had almond pound cake was a mix that i got from a friend that does tastefully simple (love tastefully simple!!) it was a great pound cake, but unfortunately i was out and i really wanted almond pound cake. so i decided to try and make my own. i always like to use a boxed mix the first time if possible, and looking at the recipes i needed a few more things and i wasnt going to get to go to the grocery before i made it. so i decided to improvise..... i made the batter as directed and decided i would just add the almond extract at the end. which i did and it worked out great, only problem...it didnt just drop out, its actually got an open mouth and a spout on it....oops :) so i poured (literally) some in, and just kept going until the batter tasted good. I cooked as directed and then tried a little slice to see if it had too much almond. i decided it was good and made an almond glaze to go with it. turned out super tasty! most of it was gone by the next morning...and it makes a great breakfast bread to go with your coffee... next time i will be trying the whole thing from scratch and see how it goes.
