Buttery might just be the number one most popular descriptor for the avocado. And that butteriness might very well be the inspiration behind Joy Wilson's Avocado Pound Cake from Joy the Baker Cookbook. More

This recipe works a few mashed avocados into a pound cake recipe and adds a bit of cornmeal for texture. It bakes up just barely green, crisp on the edges, tender within, and with just a bit of a crunchy bite. More

It's a simple enough question: What would happen if you scrambled Cadbury Creme Eggs as if they were regular eggs? More

The original recipe for pound cake is a glimpse into the early days of baking. It calls for a 1:1:1:1 pound ratio of flour, eggs, butter, and sugar. The simplicity of this recipe implies the days before the Food Network or Epicurious, when elaborate recipes were closely guarded family secrets, or at least much more difficult to spread around. It also makes me wonder why the contestants on Top Chef flounder so easily when required to bake a cake. Make a pound cake, guys. You can't forget the recipe (at least I hope you can't) and it's almost impossible to go wrong. More

This pound cake is flavored with orange and ginger and topped with a sweet orange glaze. More

When it comes to improving upon already great desserts, combining one dessert with an additional dessert seems to do the trick pretty much every time. (Remember the Cookie Stuffed Cookie?)

How do you gussy up an already excellent sweet potato cheesecake? By swapping out graham cracker crust with rich and buttery slices of pound cake. More

CakeSpy, also known as Jessie Oleson, has a knack for sweet-ifying even the most savory—like this Grilled Cheesecake, where white bread is swapped out for pound cake and cheese comes in the form of cheesecake. And just like toasting bread with a little bit of butter makes for tasty toast, slices of pound cake crisped in butter make the cake that much better. More
