This
pound cake is always popular no matter where I take it. I mean how
could I miss with peanut butter and chocolate? Because this pound
cake starts as a simple cake mix it is extra quick to put together so
it is perfect for so many occasions. It also travels well, making it
a great choice for potlucks and picnics.
I
think a lot of us have a bundt pan in the cabinet and many are afraid
to use them. All those nooks and crannies look like it would
difficult to get a cake out of the pan. As long as you coat the
inside surface really well with shortening and then coat that with
some flour you really shouldn't have any problems. The pan does
produce such a pretty cake shape it is well worth the effort.
Not
only does the garnish of chopped peanuts tip off everyone that the
cake contains peanuts but the saltiness along with the sweet is so
wonderful.
