I found this pound cake recipe in a church cookbook that my mother gave me in the early 90's. I was really wanting that "classic" pound cake taste, and I found it in this. I put a powdered sugar glaze on top once it was done, but you don't really have to. Also, it made a bit more than one bundt pan full, so have an extra cake pan ready!
