Used this recipe to make my daughter a Barbie Doll Cake for her birthday. Reminded me of pound cake from my childhood. Only change I made was 1/2 tsp almond and 1/2 tsp lemon extract along with the vanilla. I loved denser texture. I feel if you are looking for a light and fluffy pound cake you probably don't want a pound cake at all. Everyone loved it. Will make again.

Not sure what to think. Tried to whip part of it for frosting and it never got very firm, the rest of the ganache never seemed firm up as much as I would have liked either. I used good quality cream and high quality semi sweet chocolate and followed the recipe so I'm not sure what happened. On the up side, it's quick, easy and tasted good. All and all, I didn't have a pretty cake but I did have a delicious cake.

I have a vague memory of making these at Girl Scout Camp many many years ago. They were quick, easy and everyone in my family liked them. They went great with my home made vegetable soup. The only change I made was to use 2 cans of tuna.
