I haven’t made a pound cake in a good long while, and I certainly haven’t have the change to make a seasonal one. So today was the day! This Healthified Pumpkin Pound Cake is as good as it gets! It’s dense and buttery and perfectly delish - just as as good pound cake should be. It’s got even more moister packed into its spongy goodness with the addition of pumpkin in there too.

And the added flavors of pumpkin spice makes this pound cake the perfect thing to enjoy as we roll into Fall and hopefully cooler weather. Yes, I’m still hopeful that my Fall inspired recipes lately will continue to cool things off here in Texas.

To lighten this pound cake up, I swapped in some greek yogurt in place of sour cream. I also swapped half of the sugar for a natural sweetener - anything that measures cup for cup like sugar will work here. So just use whichever one you enjoy the most. Other than that? This pound cake is pretty standard and traditional outside of the pumpkin and spice.

Enjoy this as part of breakfast or even as a dessert. No matter what you end up doing with it, trust me when I say that it’s as tasty as it gets! No one will ever guess that it’s just a little bit better for you than the traditional/standard version.
