This is my mom's recipe from about 1930. It rises high in the tube pan, is moist, and smells heavenly baking.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried many pound cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of moist and dense.

I'm not a huge fan of pound cake, but this one was really good. It was moist and not too sweet. I would definitely make it again.
