French Toast Pound Cake Recipe

Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake has been a dessert staple since I was a little girl. My mom used to serve thick slices of pound cake piled high with whipped cream and fresh Florida strawberries. It was an easy way to get all of the flavors of strawberry shortcake without using a single cooking appliance — for that, I think my mom was a genius!

Now, I like to serve Sara Lee Pound Cake to my family when they're in the mood for something sweet and I don't have time to whip something up from scratch. Sara Lee products, which include cheesecakes, pound cakes, pies, cakes and sweet breakfast items, are great because they're purchased & stored frozen, so you just take them out of the freezer and serve when you're ready. My family enjoys the same strawberry shortcake "recipe" my mom made me when I was a kid, and when we have slices leftover, I make French Toast Pound Cake for breakfast.  It's a fresh spin on a classic breakfast recipe that my family loves ... and I know yours will too!
