Easy Great Gluten Free Pound Cake

I made a gluten free pound cake with lots of toppings for the Fourth. Steve doesn't mind eating gluten free at all, he'll eat anything, but sometimes I think my kids wish I would cook normal. This cake was very good just a bit drier than my normal pound cake but I plan to tweek it some in the future to make it a little moister.

I have used 1-2-3 mixes in the past and have always loved them so when there mixes were featured on Zuilily I bought several gluten free, sugar free pound cake mixes. I made this one low sugar and I was not disappointed at all with the taste I achieved and with ice cream, strawberries and blueberry compote for topping I thought it was wonderful. We ate half the cake and I froze the rest just so I would eat it all!

Here's the mix and then the recipe of what I added.

My 4th of July

I had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend what made it so special is that Honey took a few days off and we spent time with the kids.

On the Thursday before the fourth we attended Stars and Stripes and the 1st Annual Boat Parade in Greenwood here are a few of the photos from that night.

We took a picnic with us and ate at the park while listening to the live entertainment. 

What a great shot NOT. I am trying to put Punkin's straps to her blouse up on her shoulders.

Uncle Sam was there and he asked Punkin if she would have her picture taken with him;

she had no problem saying NO.

Some of the boat parade

We left before the fireworks because we were hot and Punkin had, had enough. But we enjoyed our time together in the park, I hope we can attend again next year and this time maybe we can stay for the fireworks.

On Friday the men went to check out the farm and look at farm equipment so the girls went out to lunch and did a little shopping. Then on Friday night we cooked out at the house.

On Monday the 4th we went to Starkville and had a fun relaxing day of watching movies, eating and playing with Punkin. 

I love it when the family can get together we stay too busy to do this often but there have been a few times that we managed to get together lately. Soon it will be harvest time and the times to get together will be few and far in between.

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon!
