on Aug 06, 2021, Updated Sep 16, 2023 It’s hard to beat a simple and easy pound cake recipe. I love making this Paula Deen pound cake recipe. Top it with a little vanilla glaze and some fresh fruit and you’re golden! Whenever I try to eat a little healthier, my urge to bake is nearly insurmountable. This Paula Deen pound cake checks all the boxes with a simply sweet vanilla flavor, rich buttery texture and a delightful vanilla glaze I added myself. Truth be told, my son was begging me to make a pound cake. One year during Thanksgiving vacation, he decided it was his favorite dessert of all time and it was high time we had another. Who could blame him? It was a darn good pound cake. My other son love cupcakes, however so he would reach for these orange creamsicle cupcakes instead!
