Scale
- 6 slices of pound cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherry compote)
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Dip the Pound Cake: Carefully dip each slice of pound cake into the mixture, coating lightly (do not soak too long to prevent sogginess).

- Serve: Top with cherry pie filling and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a citrusy twist, add a bit of orange or lemon zest to the batter.
- Swap cherry topping for strawberries, caramelized bananas, or blueberry compote.
- Drizzle with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
