This week’s delicious SMS recipe for Perfect Pound Cake was chosen by Michele of Veggie Nums Nums. If you’d like the recipe, she has graciously posted it–along with all of the notes from the cookbook–on her blog!
I really enjoyed making this lovely pound cake. I like fancy recipes, but life’s current hectic-ness makes me appreciate recipes that call for normal ingredients, come together quickly, and taste wonderful. Melissa Murphy’s pound cake recipe definitely fits the bill in every way. My only regret is that I didn’t really get to have any! I made it for a baby shower, but my husband had to work late that day. So the cake hitched a ride with a friend, and I only got to eat the ends! Poo! I hope everyone liked it. I haven’t had any phone calls thanking me for the most delicious pound cake ever, but no one has thrown eggs at my house either, so I think it was at least passable!

Well it looks pretty! Maybe everyone was so amazed by the cake that they are still in shock and haven’t called you yet…=]
Great presentation! I’m sorry you didn’t get any.
Your pound cake is beautiful with the berries!
I made mine with a lemon glaze.
The pound cake looks gorgeous with all of the colorful fresh fruit surrounding it! Bummer you didn’t get to eat much of it – you’ll have to make it again soon so you can decide if it is indeed perfect 🙂
Your cake looks beautiful! I love the way you have it arranged with all of the fruit.
I love how you plated the cake with the berries, so pretty; I found it hard to photograph since it’s so pale! Sorry you didn’t get to try more (the ends are not the best part of a pound cake), I’m sure your friends enjoyed it.
YUMM. Love the pictures!
It was verrrry good, I didn’t know who to thank but now I do. Thank You for the delicious and beautiful pound cake!

How sweet of you to bake it for the baby shower. The fruit on the side of the plate looks wonderful. Im glad your house didn’t get egged!
That looks like a perfect shower plate of cake. I love all of the berries around it, too. I think that pound cake is just perfect with fruit.
Pound cake and berries, how perfect can you get! Your pictures are beautiful.
Your pound cake looks awesome. Like the presentation.
Your pound cake looks just gorgeous with all the berries. Thank you SO very much for baking with me!
Beautiful presentation. Too bad you didn’t get to taste any. Gives you a good excuse to make it again :o) I made mine espresso-marbled. Turned out pretty good, and I don’t even like/drink coffee.
