Mom’s Pound Cake, I love this recipe! I love pound cake, I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and even snack time. I am one of those people that really like the sweet breads, pound cake, Kringla, Spitz cookies. This pound cake recipe is great plain, add some butter or jam. I love to use it with making strawberry short cake as well. I hope you all enjoy this pound cake as much as I do.
