HELP! Need pound cake recipe from Silver Palate cookbook?
For years I made a recipe from one of the Silver Palate cookbooks for poundcake (I think it was called Bishops Cake) - it was by far my fave recipe. However I have moved and cannot find the cookbook - or the recipe online. Can anyone help?
Many thanks!
