Whole Wheat Pound Cake image

Healthier version but not lacking in taste. Trying to get the nutritional content on this as it came out exactly as I was hoping. Dense, soft texture and taste seems to be just right; not overly sweet but very flavorful. I buy the small loaf tins and make two at a time; one for my daughter with carob chips and one for me either plain or with fresh mango chunks. I will also try making this into muffins and freezing; will update if it works out. Very versatile recipe; hope it works for you.
