I love pound cake. It was my grandmother’s favorite. I use to make it a lot when I was a little girl. You have a wonderful recipe for pound cake today, “The Ultimate Buttery Pound Cake”. I wanted to post it to my face book but the picture for chocolate chunk cookies kept coming up instead of the pound cake. I didn’t post the recipe. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you for all of your great recipes.
