This recipe came from my Aunt Evelyn Small. She lived in the Wildwood Villas not to far from me. She loved to cook and bake and loved company. I know she would enjoy knowing that I shared this with everyone. She was originally from Tangier Island, Va.

How To Make aunt evelyn's pound cake

Step 1

Gather all your ingredients together.

Step 2

Mix everything together in mixer bowl. Beat everything together at once.
Step 3

Pour into an ungreased 10" tube pan. Bake at 350o for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until cake tests done by inserting toothpick into center and it comes out clean. When you remove cake from oven do not try to remove cake immediately from pan. Wait at least 10 min. Then take a knife or spatula and go around cake to loosen it. Do the same for the middle of the cake using a smaller spatula or knife.
Step 4

I don't usually ice this cake but you can or just sprinkle it with confectioners sugar. This cake is moist and delicious.
