Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My sister Jenny (Virginia) thinks I make the best pound cake ever and at her age 84, I bake it for her for Christmas, birthdays, and every time I go to visit. She doesn't need anything so the cake lets her know I care.

She cuts the cake, freezes it and gets out a slice at a time to enjoy.
