Eggless pound cake / cashew pound cake is a simple and easy recipe is what a hubby love a lot the cake recipe is with no cream on it.. Even though it is a pound cake i did in it round cake mould for my hubby's birthday. And i have shared many cakes on my blog before, This is one of my favourite among that.. I gave him a surprise on this birthday and he really enjoyed it...

I was planning for my hubby's birthday for atleast past one week. so i wanted to give really special cake for his birthday and i wanted to make a cake without egg and cream so i decided this pound cake.

I searched all over the net and found this recipe simple and easy....So i took the recipe from my friend's blog and made this.. It was delicious... I baked the cake on his birthday and i hope you also like it.. When my hubby cut this cake on this birthday (march 21) he was very happy and suprise. I love to see these kind of suprises.. so you have to bake this cake for your loved ones birthday and enjoy the happiness they get when they sliced into it...

I used milk powder in this cake so i thought of giving it a shot because i have never used milkpowder in my baking recipes... The result is just perfect. I got the most soft, fluffy, moist cake ever take in my life.. I am sure that this recipe is going to be a keeper.
