i have shared this recipe with friends and thought i would share here. this is WONDERFUL, is innexpensive and VERY easy to make. try it.

1 pound cake (10 3/4 ounce), cut crosswise into 12 slices
3/4 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons almond flavored liqueur (recommended: Amaretto)
2/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the pound cake slices on a large heavy baking sheet and toast in oven for 7 to 10 minutes until the slices turn golden brown. Alternatively, toast the pound cake slices in an electric toaster until golden.

Stir the apricot preserves and amaretto in a small bowl to blend.

Place 1 cake slice atop each of 6 plates. Spoon the mascarpone cheese atop the cake slices. Arrange the remaining cake slices offset atop the bottom cake slices. Spoon the apricot mixture over. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve immediately.

1. Thanks for the recipe

Sounds delicious and pretty simple to make, too. Hopefully I'll get the chance to make some this weekend.

2. I made a variation on this recipe after reading it

in Giada de Laurentis' cookbook. Didn't have any mascarpone, so I used vanila yogurt. It was very good and my family loved it.
