My Mama's Pound Cake image

My Mom almost took this fabulous recipe to the grave with her. Going through some old boxes from college, I found this jotted down in one of my notebooks. It was a recipe she recited over the phone to me when I was 17, and in college. I was so glad to find it and glad it's not lost forever.
