This recipe takes the best of my grandmother's and the high school Home Economics class from 1983 to make an even-textured, reliable and delicious pound cake.

Makes 2 loaves - one for your family and one to share or freeze for later!

This pound cake can also be baked in a well-greased and floured Bundt pan.
