I have baked pound cakes for many years. I usually have no trouble baking this particular recipe. Occasionally, the cake might fall in the center, or it might burn slightly along the edges, but I have never had this happen.
Sad little pound cake, isn't it? It completely fell apart when I was removing it from the pan. So, what does one do with this or rather with these chunks of cake? Simple.

Slice some South Carolina strawberries and make

strawberry shortcake.Can't tell the cake fell apart at all, can you?
