Italian Pound Cake (Food Processor) image

A pound cake that pairs well with coffee or tea and is a slightly tweaked version of a pound cake recipe that came with my Cuisinart. This pound cake is unique in that it calls for pine nuts, olive oil and corn meal.

This pound cake is a classic for a reason. It's moist, flavorful, and has a lovely crumb. I love serving it with fresh berries or whipped cream.
