Dear Blogging Friends
When I was growing up we didn't have many sweets. Maybe a pie, penny candy from a country store named Creechees or my dad would win chocolate covered cherries at Christmas time. Sometimes I would visit my grand parents on the weekend, their house always smelled wonderful. The smell was like my grandma just finished baking. Grandma had a pretty house, she had a white velvet sofa that I loved. On occasion she would let me sit on it and to me that sofa was the closest thing to heaven.
My grandma could cook anything but along with her hoe cakes, fritters and sweet potato pie her pound cake was my favorite, forgot to mention another favorite banana pudding, sweet potato bread, etc! From history pound cake is a staple and it's made from staples in the kitchen, eggs, butter, flour, sugar and there are many variations. This is my Grandma Reathas
pound cake recipe. It's wonderful how the smell of a pound cake can bring back so many memories.
