  1. This pound cake makes a great base for Strawberry shortcake. The recipe does NOT half well, however it does freeze well and handy to have on hand for a quick dessert. Use quality bourbon for the best taste. I recommend Labrot & Graham's Woodford Reserve if you want to keep a very fine bourbon on hand for cooking, baking and drinking. ;-)
