I am making this for a special xmas get together at my Moms house for Grandma this year.
My Grandma has alzheimers and its getting pretty bad here lately so we make things a little more personal and special with her this year.......for years her favorite thing has been strawberry shortcakes.....so this is the pound cake I am gonna make for them.This is my favorite pound cake...great with berries but also good enough to stand on its own!!!
