Instructions
Blackberries and raspberries, for garnish
Lightly toast the almonds in a small skillet. Set aside to cool.
Cut the pound cake in half, horizontally.
Spread the chocolate spread on the cut side of both cake pieces.
Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Then place the top half of the cake back onto the bottom half.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whipped cream, orange liqueur and the zest.
Cut the pound cake into 1-inch slices and serve with the whipped cream, blackberries and raspberries.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Pound Cake works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
