Butter Pound Cakes

My mom started selling her butter pound cakes at various markets in Washington, DC back in the 80's up till this year. Before that for years she would bake them and give them away.

I have never been a baker. This is kind of surprising to me because my mom use to bake the most yummylicious butter pound cakes every week. As a child growing up I couldn't tell you at that time which tasted best, licking the batter left in the bowl or the actual cake itself.

Moms butter pound cake batter was so creamy and buttery that other than chocolate cakes I'm not a big fan of other kinds of cakes today.

Although my brothers and I never put a cake on the scale I believe 1 cake had to weigh at least 10 pounds easily but maybe more like 20 thinking again. One slice was equivalent to 3.

Anyway I will be blogging about some of her recipes, tricks and tips.
