So this story started with a holiday at the beach, a pound cake, and a sweet tooth...
As you can see many samples were removed for quality control...
Memorial Day at the beach included family, friends, great food, and wine...
BBQ'ing and a great buffet kept everyone happy...
There is a dilemma of what to prepare for guest once I returned home...
Apricots appear at their peak in May, and are one of my favorite fruits. Last year when they hit the market I toyed with an appetizer of Grilled Apricot, Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto wrapped and stuffed Mahoul Dates. They were a big hit at parties, so I decided to play with recipe idea for Memorial Day guest. What I did complimented my brunch entree- The Maple Walnut Pound cake made into French Toast. No syrup was needed, as it was moist and resembled the original sweet bread.
Make an egg wash and press it through a fine sieve quickly dip the pound cake; transfer to a hot griddle, and brown on each side. Bake in 350 degree oven for about seven more minutes. Powder sugar and wrapped apricots will add that extra special touch of savory to this sweet dish.
