Moist, Dense, Heavy Cream Pound Cake image

I don't think i will try baking another pound cake after making this one! It has the smoothest texture that is both dense and moist. This is easily put together, and it is hard to mess up! To your own flavor preference, you may add additional flavors such as butter or maple extracts, or 2 tsp. of lemon or orange juice with the zest. let eggs and butter sit out at room temp. for 45 minutes to an hour before making. cake flour is used to increase the smooth texture. Just be aware that you might have the whole thing in one sitting! A friend had this served with peanut butter, but I'm sure this would be delicious served with any icing or spread, even whipped cream.
