Deliciously dense moist mini cream cheese pound cakes drizzled with rich vanilla caramel glaze.
Last week i treated my feet to these bad boys. I heart brogues. Not everyone’s cup of tea but for me they are beautiful. With the one hour commute to work my feet defintely need these shoes. Power walking or running for public transport do noy go hand in hand with high heels. Plus i’m not even trying to stay in the cold longer than i have to. Â I still love my heels, i’m just saving them for non commuting occasions. I so want another pair of these brogues in a different colour. As a recovering shoe addict i am trying very hard to resist the temptation. Â Blogging for me has been my therapy. Keeps me away from the online shoe stores, so instead of shopping i’m researching recipes, visiting other blogs, pinning. It’s free shoe addicts therapy and has worked.lol. Â Let’s leave the shoe talk and talk about the individual cream cheese bundt cake.
Pounds cakes are lovely tasting cakes. Â It’s buttery interior is soft, moist and rich from the cream cheese, butter and eggs. This rich cream cheese pound cake is so flavorful and marries well with the delicous caramel glaze. Caramel lovers will love this glaze. It’s decadent, rich, smooth, creamy, buttery and has that wonderful vanilla flavour. Everything you want in a caramel glaze.
After photographing the cream cheese pound cake, i sent it off to work with my Mr. the next day.
The wasn’t even a crumb left in the cake tin i sent the cake in. I can take that as evidence that liked the cake. One of his work mates commented at how moist the cake was.
