**Pound Cake (Sterling Cloud) 2.5% (8-25-24)** -- I'd been wanting to DIVE into this one, as soon as the Sterling Cloud flavors arrived, BUT, I held off. There were literally NO notes on ELR, and only [one recipe](https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/4688000/Pa%20Pa%20Pa%20Poundcake%20with%20Blueberry%20%23AAFL). That was pretty surprising, as this was a pretty good flavor. NOW, first things first, it didn't completely sell me on a Pound Cake. (Gasp ..........), I know. It did have some great pound cake aspects, BUT, it was almost TOO smooth, with no grains to it. It had a delicious buttery-ness to it, and an almost cupcake / batter aspect to it. It was more like a buttery vanilla batter or cupcake mixed WITH a Pound Cake. Hehe, yeah, that's actually pretty close.

Very smooth, and almost rich at 2.5%, and sweetness was just below mid-level. No off-notes or real complaints. Even though it never fully materlailzied as a full on pound cake, it will be used quite a bit. With it's smooth batter-like, almost cupcake like vanilla buttery-ness, I can see it having LOTS of bakery uses. Maybe not the main pound cake driver, but with a little help, it will be IN the mix, none the less. If I were raring purely on taste, I'd give it a 9.6/10, but for it's namesake, I'll have to decduct just a little, for being ALMOST a pound cake. I struggled where to leave this one, and after the third tank I finally decided on a **7.5/10**.
