href=\"http:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/06\/peach-puzzle\/\" target=\"_blank\">peach puzzle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The only unexpected thing about this pound cake is the baking process. \u00a0The pan goes into a cold, as in DO NOT PREHEAT, oven. \u00a0It then cooks for an hour and a half. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure if the time the cake is sitting in the heating oven is what creates such a nice crusty exterior, but that crust is lovely. \u00a0Encased within the crust is the soft, sweet, buttery cake that just melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love plain pound cake. \u00a0It&#8217;s for the same reason I would rather have a plain slice of cheesecake than one with caramel, chocolate or fruit sauce. \u00a0Simple is just the only way to go sometimes, and with pound cake you can focus on the textures and delicate sweet vanilla flavors instead of whatever extras are interfering. \u00a0I know even while I type this that sometime very soon I will probably have to eat my words and fall in love with some fancy pants pound cake. \u00a0But, for today at least, I am a plain pound cake lover.<\/p>\n<p>The only complaint I have with this cake is that it gave me some trouble coming out of the pan. \u00a0I can grease and flour a pan with the best of them, but it still stuck&#8230;not terribly, but it wasn&#8217;t exactly picture perfect. \u00a0Despite this minor imperfection in appearance, the cake is delicious and definitely worth trying.<\/p>\n<h6>Cold Oven Pound Cake<a
