So…Pound Cake. How do you lighten up pound cake? It is not the easiest recipe to tweak and that is why the first ingredient is a stick of butter. 🙂 However, you need it and we are talking about Pound Cake here! This makes a very tasty, “lightened-up” cake that will not disappoint. A great trick as always is Greek Yogurt, fat-free sour cream, egg whites, banana, and oat flour. So yes there is butter, but compared to your typical pound cake, this is so much lighter.
Serve with fresh berries and everyone will love a slice.
