One of my favorites, or perhaps, my favorite cake. I have been making this cake for so many years that it is now a member of my family, smile. Ponqué is such a moist, sweet and flexible nice cake to make. You can eat it right after baking it without icing or soaking it with your favorite flavor simple syrup. Or, you can make it as fancy as a wedding cake in tiers.
