Are you looking for a new pound cake recipe for the holidays or a something for Sunday dinner?
5 flavor pound cake is great for every occasion. It is flavorful, moist and will have you wanting more.
My husband’s grandmother gave us the recipe for this flavorful pound cake. From what he has told me and herself, baking and cooking is something she loved. She trusted me with her recipe to make for my first Christmas with my husband’s family when we first dated. After recently making it, his grandmother told me, I made it ALMOST as good as her. That means a lot.
I have always enjoyed baking since I was younger. So, it was an honor to have a recipe and to make it just like her.
