Martha Stewart’s Triple Layer Poundcake

Martha Stewart’s Triple Layer Poundcake

It occurred to me that it just might be possible not everyone is a pie fan. I don’t know anyone in my immediate circle who feels this way. By the slew of orders that’ve come in from the pie fundraiser I’m doing for our school, there are certainly a lot of pie lovers at Woodstock Day School (so far I’ll be baking 41 pies the Monday before Thanksgiving with the help of a friend—pray for us).

Still, I imagine somewhere out there, someone is already thinking about the dilemma of wanting dessert for Thanksgiving, and nothing but a sea of pies (sounds like heaven to me!). Then I remembered Martha Stewart’s Triple Layer Poundcake that I made from a recent issue of her magazine. Side note: this thought process all happened while washing my hair in the shower. Obviously, I’ve got pie on the brain these days.
