So a week ago I made a lemon poundcake for a friend's birthday. I have a decent poundcake recipe and it comes out tender and yummy and whatnot. It's a good poundcake and I make it well. I gave it to the friend as a lemon poundcake, like "Here, I made you a lemon poundcake." I did not just hand them a loaf-shaped food item of unknown provenance.
A week went by. I didn't hear how they made out with the lemon poundcake. So, I asked. "How was the cake?"
"We cut slices off it, toasted them, and buttered them. It was pretty good. Wife ate most of it."
It's a fucking lemon poundcake from a recipe with sour cream in it. It's a soft, rich, buttery poundcake. THIS IS NOT AN ITEM YOU PUT IN THE DAMN TOASTER AND THEN BUTTER. WHO DOES THAT?
I know it's made in a loaf pan like banana or zucchini bread. But fuckitall, it's a poundcake. Didn't you LOOK at it? Didn't you TRY it before you toasted and buttered it?
I can't even...
Friend Lala: "At least they didn't make it into french toast..."
