Ooops! Too late! I have always kept these in the freezer. They tasted
fine off my finger. The recipe only called for 2 tsp. so if there is a
marked flavor difference I don't know that it will be too obvious?

I used "European style" Challenge brand butter and just tasting the
creamed butter and sugar was amazingly rich and tasty. I hope the pound
cake comes out well. I'm testing the new oven on baking and wanted to
bring something sweet in to work tonight.
