This is how a pound cake should be, dense, heavy, yummy. I didn't change a thing, made the recipe exactly how Junebug put it down. I did take her tip and beat each addition thoroughly, although I didn't have to worry about my arm falling off since I used my wonderful Kenwood mixer. We went to visit cousins for the weekend and I took this pound cake as well as some chocolate mousse. Served the mousse on a slice of the cake, and the sound of happy people could be heard through the house!

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
