No Story Just Good Food

I received this recipe from a dear friend about 10 years ago. I've made it many times and have shared the recipe just as many! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

My recipe book was handed down to my mother to me. In it are recipes that were hand written by my grandmother over 70 years ago. My goal is to document these old recipes and make them in the way that my grandmother would have. Some of these recipes are from my great-great grandparents from South Carolina - before the Civil War.

When I first started baking I would always get request for this pound cake.....

My Great Aunt Babe made the best pound cake. She had a way of making “just for you”, each time. My Pawpaw & I were the onlyest ones to like it a tad gooey on top. She knew when to take it out of the oven at just the right time for us. Everyone else’s was baked per directions in the recipe.

Good old fashioned pound cake that grandma use to make

This is the recipe of (half) pound cake, since the real pound cake use a pound of flour, sugar, butter and eggs. That's why it's called pound cake! You can also use this cake as a birthday cake by just add butter cream on it. Happy baking!

"This cake can be a choking hazard if you eat it too fast.", said Auntie Tessie Bird.
