Try my Buttermilk Pound Cake with Balsamic Strawberries for your next BBQ. After you bake the pound cake, just cool then wrap and freeze for 30 minutes, slice, grill, and enjoy. I love using my KitchenAid for this recipe! All of the ingredients in one mixer. This recipe fits a 10-inch Bundt pan or you can use a standard loaf pan but there will be extra for a mini-loaf as well. Click here to see more recipes on Cindy's Table.
