auntee's pound cake
(1 RATING)
I learned this recipe from my mother who learned it from her mother. I have made some of my own adaptations. My mother used milk I changed to buttermilk because the cake is moister that way. I hope it turns out well for whoever makes it. This is the first thing I learned to make from my mother.
