Nana's Southern Pound Cake image

This is my mother's famous pound cake recipe. I have posted it so that my brother and sisters can access it at any time. She used to make this for all the church and school bazaars and it was the first to go. I made it for my school bazaar and got many requests for the recipe. My mother is a southern cook from those bygone years where everyone knew by heart the recipe for a good pound cake. This is hers.

I made this pound cake for my grandmother's birthday, and she loved it! She said it was the best pound cake she had ever eaten.

This pound cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by 1/2 cup next time.

I love the nutty flavor of this pound cake. I often add a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter.

This pound cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I often bake it on the weekend and then store it in the refrigerator for the week. It's always a hit when I serve it to guests.

I'm not a big fan of pound cake, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did, because it was actually really good! The cake was moist and flavorful, and it had a nice, crispy crust.

This pound cake was a little too dense for my taste, but it still had a good flavor. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I love the simple, classic flavor of this pound cake. It's not too sweet, and it has a nice, dense crumb. I often serve it with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream.
