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.
- 3 eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 pinch salt
- I whole Pound Cake, cut into ¾ inch slices
- butter to coat pan
- powdered sugar
- Whisk together the first 6 ingredients.
- Melt butter in flat pan over medium heat.
- Dip pound cake slices into the egg mixture, drain excess off and place on hot buttered pan.
- Cook each slice until golden brown, then flip and repeat.
- Top with powdered sugar and syrup, if desired.
Well, you could freeze the other two pound cakes, right? But this recipe looks MUCH better! Yum.
It is so delicious, Carol!
OMG, this looks so yummy I may have to actually….have my husband make it. He’s the better cook in this family, to which I’ll gladly clean up! YUM.
Cathy, lucky you having a man that cooks!
That sounds absolutely amazing. This will be the perfect birthday breakfast for my husband next week! I think I will add a pinch of cocoa powder and a dash of cayenne. What do you think?
Ruth, those additions sounds wonderful! I think I will give that a try too! Thanks.
That sound totally delicious. Can’t wait for brunch next weekend. I am going to have to treat my family to this!
Enjoy!
Just looking at the picture makes your mouth water. I like french toast and I believe I will like the pound cake french toast. I will try it, thanks for sharing.
Let me know how you like it!
Oh, unless you are bringing me some of that right now, it’s not fair to have that gorgeous picture be one of the first things I see when I wake up. It looks amazing! And, yes, I like pound cake. And, yes, I like French Toast!
I would be happy to bring you some by, Lois!
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.
Lisa, I’m so glad you like it. Sorry about the yogurt…
This is yummy! I have printed it out…def going to make this one! Thanks….
Thanks Ellen!
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!
The Pannettone French Toast sounds amazing! I will have to give it a try around the holidays.
We don’t typically use pound cake for our french toast, this looks intriguing. I can’t wait for Sunday now.
Enjoy!
