Nana's Southern Pound Cake
"This is my mother's famous pound cake recipe. I have posted it so that my brother and sisters can access it at any time. 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."

I wanted to love this, however I found it be very dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong. -
What a yummy pound cake! The only change I made was to halve the recipe to make 1 small loaf and two mini bundt cakes . I also added 1/2 tsp of lemon extract. This is super simple to make, and the oven temperature is low enough that it can be made any time of year. ;)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
