Barbadian Plain Cake Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pound Cake Recipes. (Barbadian Plain Cake Recipe). My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados about 1906. She read this to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day. It's a great simple pound cake, good with tea.
