This is my mom's recipe, which she made for special occasions. She would be proud that I have shared it with others. I have made it several times but it was never as good as hers. I sure do miss you, mama.

[email protected]This is the best pound cake I've ever had! It's so moist and flavorful. I used a bundt pan and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

[email protected]Very tasty cake! I used a bundt pan and it turned out great. The glaze is a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall I really enjoyed this recipe.
