There is a direct line from W2T’s Milk, Cream and Alcohol to this to Tuhao As Fuck. They are all these deeply creamy, deeply mouth filling, subtly dairy, subtly sweet, not at all cloying things. Each is appropriate to its price. Poundcake ain’t some weird candy thing (although maybe if you’re used to camphor-power it might seem so) – but its full range of bizarre German-baking spices is totally cool.
I must sample this soon then! I have a cake waiting to be broken.
Nice one.
Agree on the German spice comment. Poundcake is very spicy, but not unpleasantly so. It’s on my list of cakes to buy after I bought a sample a few months ago.
