Tropical Pound Cake image

Pomegranate seeds add a nice touch to the tropical fruit topping. To minimize the mess of seeding a pomegranate, follow these simple instructions. First, cut off the crown and score the fruit into quarters. Soak the fruit in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Holding the fruit underwater, break the scored sections apart with your fingers. Then separate the seed clusters from the skin and membranes. Discard the skin and the membranes; dry the seeds on paper towels.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This is my go-to recipe for pound cake. It's always moist and flavorful, and the tropical fruits add a nice touch of sweetness and tartness. I've also made this cake with other fruits, such as berries and peaches, and it's always delicious.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the tropical fruits were not evenly distributed.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dry. I think I overmixed the batter.
