Pound Cakes are one of my all time favorite desserts. I love the simple goodness of them. This Black Walnut Pound Cake has to be at the top of my list. Like so many of my favorite recipes, this recipe came from my Grandmother. Whenever I make it, I am always taken back in time, remembering all the hours I spent standing in a chair next to my Grandmother as she made her wonderful dishes. Life was so simple then. I was so young and my Grandmother's kitchen was my favorite place to be. Please enjoy this recipe.

I got this recipe from an old Army mess hall sergeant who later became a chef down in Savannah, GA. This is a wonderful, different nut cake. It is equally good served warm or cold. This cake can be wrapped and frozen 3 to 5 months. Thaw, and if desired, reheat to serve.
