Pound Cake
This pound cake also makes a great Strawberry Shortcake. The recipe makes two loaf cakes. You can make one for an after dinner dessert tonight and save the other one in the freezer to be ready for a special occasion another day. This cake is even good just plain and can be served chilled.
