There are a lot of memories attached to this certain cake recipe. My grandmother was famous for her pound cakes, with this one being perhaps her most requested one. Moist, delicious, addictive....words can't begin to describe how awesome this cake is. I don't know how long this recipe has been in the family, but I do know that it's been passed along to every woman in it and has been revered for many, many years. This is the perfect ending to any meal and never disappoints.
