This is what happens when you're too cheap to buy magazine subscriptions and thus are forced to browse through Bon Appetit at the library... You come across a recipe for a cranberry nut "pound" cake with an espresso glaze and want to back it. Then your grandpa asks you what you're baking and skools you that your recipe is not a pound cake recipe b/c "pound cakes have a pound of each ingredient which is why they're called POUND cakes." (Note this is not a direct quote as my PaPa is not that directly sarcastic but what he did actually say implied such sarcasm. I think he might have even chuckled and then said, "I don't know..." which is his catch all phrase for when he sees something he thinks is odd/doesn't agree with). Well, I made the "pound" cake anyways and I even bought four new mini-loaf pans to bake it in so I could give the gift of goodness away.

My grandpa ended up eating 2- so I guess he liked it. I saved one for myself and I sent the last one to my friend in D.C. She regularly let's me crash at her abode when I'm in town for personal reasons and it is always awesome b/c she's not afraid of good food + beer combos.
