Honey Vanilla Pound Cake – This decadent loaf is made with real butter, vanilla almond milk and a hint of honey. Topped with a delicious rich honey vanilla glaze.
So this recipe is a first around here. I’ve never posted a pound cake before. And I figured I’d start if off strong with a delicious one. This rich pound cake is made with everything you’d expect in a traditional pound cake…butter, eggs, sugar, flour. But what makes this one is different is the honey and vanilla. Oh yum.
It’s made with a bit of Almond Breeze and then topped with a honey vanilla glaze. I really think you’ll like this fresh twist on a classic cake.
I saved myself a few calories when I made this. I let my husband eat 87% the kids 6% and I had the rest. That way I can have my cake, eat too and not gain 5 lbs in one week. Winner for all!
Look at this dripping honey though. Oh my goodness I can’t wait to think of something else this week to drizzle honey on. It’s just so pretty.
Of course you could be boring and not drizzle the added honey and it’s still pretty. And the vanilla can shine through. I’m a bit of a vanilla freak lately too. Here’s more. And one more. And just one more. I’ll probably be adding several more through out the year because vanilla is a delicious year round flavor that I just can’t resist.
It’s pretty awesome too. Because I used to be fixated on chocolate 24/7 but now that I’ve let vanilla in my life I’m not letting it get away. It’s deserves it’s own showcase and praise. So versatile; from breakfast to dessert to main dishes. It’s mah-velous!

Haha – I spewed my coffee everywhere when I read “I saved myself a few calories when I made this. I let my husband eat 87% the kids 6% and I had the rest.” Now that’s easier said than done in my house – I’ve got sharing issues! And a pound cake that looks as moist and decadent as this would be so hard to share! 🙂
This cake is perfect! Loving that you lightened it up with Greek yogurt and then added that DELISH Honey Vanilla Almondmilk! Pinned!
This looks amazing and I think it’s so neat you used almond milk to make it!
I love a good pound cake, dense, sweet, but never too sweet. It’s the perfect dessert for someone that isn’t a fan of desserts being cloyingly sweet. Plus, that glaze looks so perfect!
Oh I love the sound of this pound cake, Melanie! Such a great idea to combine honey and vanilla. Looks absolutely perfect!
What a great idea to use the Almond Breeze in this pound cake! I love the honey and vanilla flavors. Pass me a slice, please!
I went to preschool at a Christian Church, and I remember there was one lesson about Moses, and how he was leading his people to the “land of milk and honey”. This totally reminds me of that! It sounded like the yummiest combination when I was little gal.
Loving the flavors, this looks so good!
This looks awesome and love that honey vanilla almond milk!

Really enjoyed making this cake. Substituted white flour with mixture of almond flour, oatflour, and sprouted wheat flour and rest white flour;didn’t use much white flour. And didn’t have almond breeze so used yogurt for the rest. It was yummy. also didn’t ice but topped with blackberries and strawberries with whipped cream. Thank you for sharing.
