This is my mother's famous pound cake recipe. She used to make this for all the church and school bazaars and it was the first to go. I made it for my school bazaar and got many requests for the recipe. My mother is a southern cook from those bygone years where everyone knew by heart the recipe for a good pound cake. This is hers.
