Recipe Notes
You can use a previously baked pound cake or a purchased one to make this recipe, and you will probably have some cake left over.
This recipe can be made a day ahead.
Leftovers keep very well in the refrigerator for several days.
You can halve the recipe and serve it in individual dessert dishes.
