You are going to want to check in here on Friday, because that’s when I’m sharing the ultimate way to top this pound cake. Sorry to tease you like that, but it was truly scrumptious (not to be confused with the character in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang).
However, we managed to only eat half of this pound cake so I put the rest in the freezer for another time. And that had me thinking of other ways to top this versatile cake.
I’ll add the recipe for Pound Cake from a Mix at the end of the post. First, let’s get to some delicious toppings.
10 Ways to Top a Pound Cake
1. Berries – plain or sweetened, maybe with a little fresh mint
2. Whipped Cream – the homemade kind!
3. Pudding – any flavor is good. Try it warm and a bit thinner than normal (chocolate is my favorite).
4. Ice cream with hot fudge or butterscotch topping
5. Crushed pineapple mixed with a little brown sugar
6. Strawberries and Nutella
7. Bananas and caramel sauce
8. Peppermint ice cream and hot fudge
9. Peaches and whipped cream
10. Your turn! Tell me in a comment how you like to top plain pound cake!
Here’s what you’ll need to dress up your cake mix and make it a pound cake:
Ingredients
- 1 box white or yellow cake mix
- 1 box vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together with an electric mixer until well blended.
- Pour into well greased bundt pan. I like to spray mine with Baker's Joy cooking spray that also has flour in it.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on the counter still in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove from pan and cool completely.
Notes
For a chocolate version, use devil's food cake mix and chocolate pudding mix.

I would top it with melted chocolate chips and drip on like a chocolate glaze. Yummy!
I like to warm homemade jam and pour it on top!
I love how this recipe leaves out all the butter! Not that butter is bad for you, but it’s so expensive!
No necessarily a way to top a pound cake, but I like to buy a package of sugar-free Jello and either swirl it in the batter, or bake the cake and poke holes in it and pour the Jello over.
great post! definitely the strawberries and nutella:)
“Homemade” whipped topping consisting of Cool Whip, greek yogurt, honey, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. Then top that with strawberries macerated in sugar. Yummy!
I love to use pound cake as my shortcake for strawberry jubilee (Strawberry Shortcake). Yum!
As always, great list of suggestions, Tiffany.
We have always topped pound cake using 1/2 a can of orange juice concentrate with a little bit of sugar (or stevia) mixed in. Poke holes in the top and drizzle it all over.
That sounds wonderful!
Years ago when the ninja first came out a coworker made this cake. i absolutely loved it and asked for a copy however i lost it during a move? Is this recipe from the ninja cookbook? I have bought several ninja cookbooks and I have yet to find the recipe.
No, it’s not from the ninja cookbook. It’s just a common way to dress up a cake mix.
