My mother made this pound cake recipe many times during my formative years. I always found it odd that the oven did not need preheating, but the cake always turned out exceptionally well for her and me as well.

My new favorite pound cake! I found this recipe a little before Christmas last year and have made it several times since. It was devoured at our last church social-- thanks for sharing a great recipe.
