A pound cake for National Pound Cake Day

In honor of National Pound Cake day, I thought it was only fitting to post, um, Pound Cake! Duh!
My mom gave me this recipe after I bitched about my failed pound cake attempt a while ago.
Well this pound cake was FAR from a fail. It was moist and delicious. But don’t you dare put a glaze on top because it is plenty sweet enough. Next time I make it I might even decrease the sugar by just a teensy tiny bit. I did, however, make some homemade vanilla bean whipped cream to make it cute since I already had the whipping cream out for the cake.
I think she told me she got the recipe from an old Southern Living
Cookbook.
Come on folks, whip you up one of these bad boys in honor of the Holiday
