Date: 2020-08-18

oday we are making my favorite pound cake. This recipe make a lot of cake batter so use an extra large bundt pan or divide it up when baking or it will spill over! This cake is moist and delicious with that crunch on the top that we all love so much.  Warm it up in a toaster oven and butter it to enjoy a sweet breakfast or dessert.

DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook.  My mama was an amazing cook as well, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen.   
I have made it so easy for you to learn how to cook like my granny and mama did with cooking tutorials for each and every recipe in our cookbooks.  You can see how to order these by visiting us on our website.  Oh and no difficult to find or crazy ingredients! Just simple ingredients and really good food.
I am a southern girl born in raised in Collard Valley in Polk County Georgia.  We went to church on Sunday, school during the week, the grocery store on Friday’s and that was our life.  No vacations, no camping, just plain old southern country people
