"I originally got this recipe from a friend of whom made this cake and my husband loved it. I asked her for the recipe and she said that it had been passed down from her husbands side for generations. Well, I began making the cake and she forgot to give me the number of eggs. I panicked because she was out of town and the cake was for an important dinner! I googled the name ""pound cake"" and up popped this recipe which was the exact same recipe she gave me with the number of eggs I needed! I have made this recipe many times and love it. We often use cooked blackberries with sugar as the topping and whip up cream with powdered sugar to use as whip cream."
