There is a reason why they call this "pound" cake.  It's so loaded with butter that you may as well just pack it directly onto your thighs.  There is however, a time and place for everything and sometimes a treat is warranted.  Don't eat this one everyday, but never let an Easter go by without serving it for brunch.

Preheat Oven To: 350

Yield: 1 loaf

Serve With:  Fresh Fruit Salad or preserves and whipped cream.
