Recipes Desserts Cakes Pound Cake Recipes Barbadian Plain Cake 4.4 (71) 61 Reviews 10 Photos My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados about 1906. She read this to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day. It's a great simple pound cake, good with tea. Recipe by Bernadette Beekman Updated on July 14, 2022 Save Saved!
