My Granita used to make this cake and she passed it down to my mom and my mom passed it down to Rondell. Rondell really likes to bake and usually makes this if we are going to a function and need to bring a dessert.
I hope you enjoy:

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe. We all love pound cake so I'll have to give it a try after the first of the year. :)
That sounds so good!
I love pound cake...I don't make it very often because I could eat the WHOLE thing!
I will try THIS recipe for sure ;)
Yum! I bet that is a really good cake. I love pound cakes when you can tell that it is a granny's recipe!

Um, yummy! I'm definitely going to try this. You know, after Christmas. I've got too much other baking to do in the next few days. My poor oven will be working overtime ;)

Kelli, I found your blog through the designer's website. It caught my eye and I love the name! This sounds like a great recipe. I enjoyed reading your posts and am heading back over to Kerry's Paper Crafts!
Wow, I wish Dan would do the baking! haha! Sounds delicious! {You know...I never made the apple crisp :( I have all the ingredients...and then we ended up eating the apples! haha!}
Yummy! I really just need to live next door to you so I can sample everything! :) Happy Holidays!
