A friend brought a scrumptious pound cake over for dessert, for our Winter Warmth and Wishes dinner here, and she said I could share her Mississippi Mama’s recipe with you
It was on a proper Magnolia plate with gold trim of course, and toted over in a tupperware cake carrier, because that’s the way it’s done in the South, y’all…
The cinnamon swirl crust added such a great crunchy texture
there is just nothing better than a good ole Southern pound cake
did I mention the almond extract?
I am a fool for almond extract!
It makes your baked goods taste amazing!!

She plated the cake upside down so the cinnamon sugar made a crunchy topping
