Grannie’s Pound Cake
2 sticks butter, softened

This was our grandmother’s signature dessert. She knew the recipe so well, she didn’t have it written down. We are fortunate that someone did take the time to watch her and take notes. Grannie often served this with whipped cream and fresh peaches. Enjoy.
