Pound Cake

What can you make with pound cake besides trifle. Can you make a pakistani meetha dish with pound cake? We have a Family potluck on Tuesday, one of my coworker really wants me to make a pakistani dish. I have 3 pound cakes sitting in my fridge and I want to use them/finish them… so help me folks!

Re: Pound Cake

you can make bread pudding out of pancake … its soooo yummmy!
I also use it in ice cream sandwiches … toasting the pound cake first make is extra good.
Or just serve it with fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches) cut up and piled on top + giant dollop of whipped cream … kinda like a strawberry shortcake.

I was thinking the same thing that you can make Shahi tukray with it.
You can make lay-e to mend your books too. :smiley:

Re: Pound Cake

how about:

  1. Pineapple Delight - cut up cake into cubes. Take 1 can crushed pineapple(liquid included) and mix with 1 packet of vanilla pudding mix and 1 container of cool whip. Let it sit for a bit in the fridge. Then in a bowl simply layer cake, then the pineapple mixture…and top it off with whipped cream. A little trifle like, but different

  2. Grill it, but also get fresh pineapple. Core and cut into thin slices. Sprinkle a little brown sugar on both sides, grill the slices till brown n caramelized and serve on a slice of grilled poundcake, with a dollop of whipped cream

so i love pineapple :slight_smile:

Re: Pound Cake

Re: Pound Cake

You can toast or bake the cake pieces for sometime so they become little brown and crunchy for shahi tukray
