My grandmother’s pound cake tastes like a moist, dense angel food cake. Even friends who don’t like cake love this pound cake! Don’t bother figuring up calories; I’m sure it’s off the charts. I’m telling you, this cake is heavenly — except, in heaven, it’ll somehow be good for you!

Fabulous with a cup of coffee – or tea!
ALSO… What does pound cake have to do with praising God? I’m writing about it today at Raising Homemakers: “Pound Cake and Praise.”

I love the simplicity of this recipe & am going to try it with strawberries for a strawberry shortcake. Thanks for sharing it!

That looks so good! I like toasting pound cake in the morning and having it with coffee. Something about the crunchy (that and I put a little butter on it to melt like making buttered toast.) You made me hungry for pound cake!
