There's Whipping Cream Pound Cake and Whipped Cream Pound Cake. Whipping Cream Pound Cake is usually made with a combination of butter and heavy cream. Whipped Cream Pound Cake is actually made with 1 cup of cream which you whip and fold into the batter. In this recipe, the whipped cream replaces the butter. It gives you a slightly lighter textured pound cake that's perfect for layering with fresh fruit.

This is a recipe I've been making since Fuzz was little. It's from one of my favorite cookbooks "Classic Home Desserts" by Richard Sax, a simple but informative book with great recipes, a friendly laid back tone, and a bit of history on some classic dessert favorites.

The recipe was given to Richard Sax by his friend Jan Bayrock, and he cites it as having a unique and less dense texture than the standard pound cake. He also points out that whipped cream pound cake has almost half the fat of most pound cake recipes.  In fact, it has no butter at all.  As mentioned, all of the fat comes from 1 cup heavy cream. Because it is not as rich as butter pound cake, it's best (in my opinion) served with more cream and fruit or as part of a lighter dessert plate. For a richer and more traditional pound cake, look for the version with butter.
