In honor of National Pound Cake day, I thought it was only fitting to post, um, Pound Cake! Duh!

My mom gave me this recipe after I bitched about my failed pound cake attempt a while ago.

Well this pound cake was FAR from a fail. It was moist and delicious. But don't you dare put a glaze on top because it is plenty sweet enough. Next time I make it I might even decrease the sugar by just a tinsy tiny bit. I did however make some homemade vanilla bean whipped cream to make it cute since I already had the whipping cream out for the cake. I think she told me she got the recipe from an old Southern Living

Cookbook.

Come on folks, whip you up one of these bad boys in honor of the Holiday
