MeMe’s Pound Cake

Me and Mama Sue recently went to South Carolina to visit with MeMe and her entire family. They are beyond precious! We ate, laughed, and ate some more! One of the standouts was MeMe’s famous pound cake. The texture was velvety. It was one of the best pound cakes that I have ever tasted.
