"This is the recipe my Grandmother would make every year during the holidays. I found the recipe tucked in her Bible when she passed, and it was written in her Grandmother's handwriting. It's been in my family for at least 7 generations, and in 2012, I won a Blue Ribbon at the Kentucky State fair by following her exact instructions. Tastes like pure love!"

I followed the recipe making no changes. I will definitely make it again. A very moist pound cake. I always make a pound cake in a very long loaf pan by Wilton.
