Comments:
"This is such a yummy pound cake, a little different because it is marbled by swirling ground nuts through the batter. Frost pound cake with your favorite flavor icing, or just dust with confectioners' sugar. If desired, decorate with edible flowers or pipe pretty pastel colored flowers with tinted frosting. Makes a beautiful presentation for dessert for Easter or Mother's Day".........Diana's Desserts
