Honey Vanilla Pound Cake Recipes

What an amazingly moist pound cake and with such an interesting flavor compared to your traditional pound cake. The majority of the sugar that makes up a pound cake is substituted with honey in this recipe. So if you have a surplus of honey from your beehives, then you need to check this recipe out to help use it and really enjoy it. Reducing the amount of white sugar and substituting it for honey in a pound cake is a more healthy alternative as well.

This pound cake also has a large amount of vanilla extract, a tablespoon in fact. I am wanting to experiment with using vanilla bean either with or as a substitute for the extract. I would love to see if the vanilla beans give a more intense and richer flavor then just the extract.
