Personal Notes:
This is a recipe I wrote down one summer in the late sixties when our Dad's mother and our grandmother, Clara Cannon Polk Henderson, was staying with us. She had the recipe in her head and I wrote down the ingredient's and the directions as she made her wonderful Pound Cake. Also see her Crisco© cake recipe which is very similar to this.
