Sisters Pound Cake
"This recipe has been in our family since time out of mind. It is the best of all worlds, it is simple, it is GOOD, it keeps very well and it actually is better the day after it is baked(if it lasts that long). The only change I have made to the recipe my Grandmother used is adding the teaspoon of baking powder. It assures you won't have a "sad streak" in the pound cake."

I have just turned 50 and am the mother of two sons (DaBaby and Gator) grandma of five and wife of the long-sufferin' everlovin' Boo. I come from a long line of southern cooks. We don't do fancy but pride ourselves on good ol' fashion southern fare. Even at my age, I still feel I am a novice in comparison to my Mama,the Aunts and of course, my Grandmother Parrish. Her level of culinary expertise is something we all aspire to but I truly feel none will ever reach.
