Old Fashioned Pound Cake
Heidi Louise @HeidiLouise
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.

I cook traditional recipes that have been passed down through multiple generations. Some recipes date back to the pre- Civil War era from the Charleston, SC area. My ancestors claim heritage from Britain, Ireland, and France. I use mostly organic ingredoents and traditional cooking tools and methods. This helps me get into my ancestors' mindset and connects me to their way of life.

Easy Pound Cake with Dried Fruit
I created this recipe because I wanted to make a delicious pound cake that can be a little gift to take to somebody's house.There are recipes that use vegetable oil, but the butter definitely makes the cake more delicious.Please mix the mixture well after adding the eggs so that it won't separate.The batter seems a bit thick, but once it's baked, it will flatten so it's ok.It's also tasty to add bananas, walnuts, or make a marble pound cake with cocoa powder or matcha powder.I think it's ok to use rum instead of brandy.
