Best Southern Pound Cake image

In my husband's small South Carolina home town, decisions about whether to attend a local wedding were often made according to whether "Miss Lorene" was making the cake for the occasion. This is her version of the traditional Southern pound cake. Its texture is truly divine and quite dense. For some occasions, it is iced with 7 minute frosting. You can also use your favorite glaze. Makes nice cupcakes as well.
