Pound Cake

"This is my own low-fat recipe and I often use cubes of it to make a wonderfully light blueberry trifle," writes Joyce Grasby from Rochester, New York. She also likes to spoon fresh or frozen fruit or berries over each slice for added flavor.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS

In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the applesauce, vanilla and lemon peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until blended.
