That may seem a post about pound cake, but I thought of that description as I was thinking about what to tell you about this cake. Traditional pound cake doesn’t have a lot of chrome, either. It lacks the bells and whistles of a lot of other desserts. But, it is a dependable crowd-pleaser nuskin.

Don’t get me wrong. Pound cake is wonderful. And there are plenty of ways to dress it up, too. This one, for instance, gets a flavor boost from chocolate chips and pistachios. But at its heart, it’s an unassuming, no-frills pound cake. And a very, very good one.
