There’s something wonderful about pulling out a recipe that you just KNOW is going to work, but sometimes, it’s nice to jazz things up a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves a slice of moist, vanilla cake, but who’s to say where the topping options can end? Here are 10 great ways to serve a pound cake, to suit anyone’s taste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Greek Yoghurt, Honey and Almonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greek yogurt is a hidden gem in the dairy aisle. It’s thick and creamy and provides the perfect base for sweet honey and some crunchy almonds.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Greek Yoghurt, Pistachio Nuts and Dried Cranberries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Breaking out the Greek yogurt again, this time topped with smooth pistachios and some sweet dried fruit. I love the contrast of the crunchy whole nuts with the soft chewy fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Blueberries and Creme Fraiche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blueberries are always a favorite of mine and creme fraiche makes a nice change to regular whipped cream. Together the pairing is delightful!<\/p>\n\n\n

A classic combination. Once again our favorite Greek yogurt is making an appearance. You really can’t go wrong where bananas and honey are concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Greek Yoghurt and Fresh Passionfruit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I was a child I have been obsessed with passionfruit!\u00a0When they are perfectly ripe, these fruits pack some of the most intense flavors out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like you cannot even imagine, if you have never tried a fresh passionfruit, go get some!<\/p>\n\n\n

8. Dark Chocolate and Raspberries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I found this dark chocolate spread at my local grocery store and could not pass up the opportunity to buy it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raspberries and chocolate are one of my favorite combinations as the sharp fruit cuts through the sweet chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Raspberries and Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer has really arrived when you break out the raspberries and cream.<\/p>\n\n\n
