Very nice post. I so agree that pound cake with toppings is easy to prepare ahead and the variations are endless. I think pound cakes always taste a little better if made ahead. On Memorial Day we had sour cream pound cake topped with blueberry compote (slightly warmed) and whipped cream. The variations above all sound so good. The other thing I like to do is to layer pound cake and "toppings" in a pretty bowl or glass to create the ultimate pound cake dessert --- the trifle. Thanks Posie.
