twd: bourbon soaked vanilla babycake




Oh, how I adore poundcake.

Oh, how I adore bourbon.

Oh, how I adore babycakes.

Add a scattering of macerated strawberries, freshly picked (by me) from a (mosquito infested) field, and you have a simple yet unbelievable flavorful and cravable dessert.

(I may have just stated that I want to eat the rest of the mini-loaf. G can testify that I have not actually done so.)

Thank you, Wendy, of Pink Stripes, for selecting this recipe. Check out her blog—she is an inspiration, and I always love reading about her adventures in food and life. We joined TWD about the same time, and she has been a blogger friend ever since.

And...cue the giddy excitement...I am the TWD host next week! Hooray! Look for a longish rambling post on Paris and chocolate and tarts and and and...

    I absolutely loved this recipe even without my beloved chocolate.

  3. Bourbon.... what a great variation. This was the best pound cake - truly like a sara lee, but much better! Love the baby cakes as well - so suited for this type of cake. Looking forward to the Tart!

  4. Hi Dharmagirl,
    This is my first time visiting your blog and I just wanted to say it is so lovely. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future and cooking Dorie's Tarte Noire with you this week.

  5. Your cake looks wonderful with those strawberries. I made mine with hazelnut syrup rather than rum.

    I made your pick this weekend...OMGoodness!!! :)
