Y’all, this is one recipe I’ll always treasure. My dear friend Trina shared it with me on my first visit with her. I learned so much from her in the short time that I got to know her. She was one amazing lady. Southern to the core and with a bit of orneriness too. She said it was her mothers recipe and that her mom made this pound cake all the time and it was a family favorite. So I am sharing it here with you in hopes it becomes a family favorite of yours too.
