PEPPERMINT CREAM POUND CAKE
I came up with this recipe when I was looking for a twist on traditional pound cake. I love the look and flavor of peppermint, especially at Christmas, so it seemed like a natural pairing. Everyone at work loved the results, and my family did, too. - Carolyn Webster, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
