Easter Egg Pound Cakes
Happy Easter! In celebration of this Easter Holiday, I decided to make a batch of Easter Egg Pound Cakes. Kim’s mother recently gave us this Decorated Egg Cake Pan and so we wanted to take it for a test run.
After making this, we initially thought that this recipe was pretty good, however, once we added some strawberries into the mix, it really upped the ante for this dish and it became a great dessert dish!

After the dough has been added to the dish and before meeting the toasty oven.
Kim was a little apprehensive about how these would turn out. She was afraid that the bottoms would be too puffy, and not flat. After she saw the result, though she thought it was better that it was slightly puffy on the bottom. This made the cakes look almost egg like, without having to have a pattern on both sides.
20 minutes later…
No, the bottoms don’t look that impressive. However, when you flip them over…
And the beautiful pattern on these delectable desserts.
