Vanilla Pound Cake
So one of my colleagues, Josephine, just graduated with a masters a couple of weeks back. When she came a few colleagues from her unit decided to throw her a small party. One of my colleagues asked me to make a cake but due to time constraints and a bit of laziness I decided to make a simple pound cake. I reduced the amount of sugar that was used in the original recipe and still felt it had a tad bit too much sugar but most people who ate it said that the amount of sugar was just right. Well you be the judge. HAPPY BAKING!!!
