Rump of pound cake, baked in a brioche mold.

Right after this pound cake came out of the pan, I took what I thought were a couple of nice pictures. But someone had fiddled with the camera (I wonder who), and although the camera flashed it didn’t capture any visible images. By the time I figured all that out, I was left with this (still tasty) rump, which I’ve gobbled down in preparation for our departure this morning for Thanksgiving break.

Having a pound cake on hand, especially during the cooler months, is a great virtue. Just looking at the thing will fill you with a sense of well-being. But don’t look too long: cut yourself a slice and enjoy it with a nice cup of tea. Stare out the window and refrain from multitasking.

Although no one will admit it, pound cake and madeleines are extremely similar.
