My mother in law has been making this recipe for years and she recently handed it down to me. It's the BEST pound cake I've ever had!!! Please note the recipe calls for both margarine AND butter. She assured me to use the combination and not just one or the other. Read more . I'm not sure why, but this recipe is best left as is!!! The glaze is my addition because sometimes, you just crave a little extra sweetness/richness!!! Enjoy! Ingredients:
