Kihei, HI

Tastes even better cold and sliced real thin. Yum. I've been making this DH pound cake for over 50 years, and it's still my favorite. *NOTE: You can use any "flavor" of DH cake mix, just adapt the pudding and the liquid for the glaze to the mix flavor. Fun to garnish with fruit or nuts on top of the glaze.*
