No butter pound cake





perhaps a healthy alternative to the real deal? i have yet to make it but will report back when i do!

1/2 cup crème fraiche, fat free or low fat sour cream, or yogurt
4 large eggs
¾ cup sugar or splenda sugar substitute
1 ¼ cup flour (try mixing half whole wheat, or oat flour, etc)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp vanilla
Beat the eggs and sugar until mixture turns pale. Gently fold in the crème fraiche. Sift the flour and baking soda, and stir them into the mixture with a spatula. Butter the pan and dust with sugar. Tap the pan lightly to remove the excess. Pour in the batter.
Bake in a 325 °F oven for 45 minutes. Insert a skewer to check that the cake is done. This pound cake will keep longer if wrapped in plastic.

this recipe is a base, could easily add in any flavoring or spices to change it up.
