Fruity Pound Cake

This is a very simple pound cake recipe. Using the box mix makes it quick and easy.

You do get just a hint of the banana flavor. It isn’t overpowering.

You do not get the rum taste. I mean, not at all. That was disappointing. I was looking for the extra special flavor provided with the rum.

The cake is very dense when finished. Pound cake is generally a dense cake, but this one seemed overly dense.

Overall it wasn’t bad. My husband ate his with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce drizzled overtop.
