Comments from Lisa Feinson :

This was given to me by a wonderful lady in South Carolina. I feel it deserves to be passed around the world. This is fantastic with plain vanilla ice cream.

If you are looking for a cake recipe your family and friends will rave about...this is it! This is honestly the best poundcake I have ever had. It was easy to make, and I served it with some strawberries that I sliced and let sit in a tiny bit of sugar for about an hour. The only down side is...I bet I gained 5 pounds eating 2 pieces! Lots of good 'ole calories in this one. Trust me, I'll excercise an extra hour to eat this!!
