vanilla bean pound cake

The truth is, I bought my very first vanilla bean only last week when I was making . It’s not that I didn’t know how fantastic they are in all of their clarity of flavor and little-goes-a-long way charm, I was just both too cheap to buy them, and too afraid to go down that slippery slope whereby no extract would do ever satisfy me again.
