Pound Cake French Toast!
The combination came to me one day when I had been shopping at Costco. I enjoy eating their pound cake, but it comes in a package of 3. It’s not that my family can’t polish off all three loaves within a few day, I just don’t think that is the healthiest choice I could make for us. But alas, I remembered I was having my family for brunch over the weekend, I could just serve the buttery pound cake with the rest of the brunch items…Or… I could do a two for one and make… wait for it…
Pound Cake French Toast
I knew it would be yummy! I knew my family members would not be able to figure out why the french toast was so delicious this time. Do I dare let my secret out? Or do I leave the whole table wondering?
Of course, I couldn’t wait to blurt out that is was pound cake that make the french toast so very delicious. There is something about the buttery sweet goodness that pound cake has, when it is dipped in an egg batter it becomes the perfect combination of tender in the inside, crispy on the outside yummy goodness.

- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla

I’m always a fan of french toast. Piled high with berries, for sure.

Kim, nothing is better for breakfast than french toast and berries. Well, maybe just a couple slices of bacon!

THIS is a fabulous idea. And reading your post before breakfast was NOT a fabulous idea, for now my yogurt will fail to satisfy, I have no doubt.

This sounds absolutely fabulous – I will have to try it sometime! One Christmas I made Pannettone French Toast, and that was pretty yummy too. I can only imagine how good pound cake would be!

We don’t typically use pound cake for our french toast, this looks intriguing. I can’t wait for Sunday now.
