COLETTA'S POUND CAKE
This recipe belonged to my friend Coletta Holloway. We shared a birthday and the joy of baking. She always made this cake for her family and church dinners. She found the recipe in the newspaper and shared it with me. I have experimented using various flavor extracts vanilla, lemon and almond. I also use mini loaf pans to give small cakes as gifts. I have baked this cake for others to share as gifts or offer as "their" hostess gift. Coletta's memory lives on through this cake and the joy it brings to so many. Enjoy ~ JP
