Here is a recipe that Robbie loved: My Grandmother's
Pound Cake
2 cups butter (NOT oleo), softened to room temperature 2 cups sugar 6 eggs, at room temperature dash
of salt 2 tsp. real vanilla 2 cups flour
I often set out the butter and eggs overnight, to come to room temperature,
and then bake the cake early the next morning.
Beat the sugar and the softened butter until very smooth and creamy.Add
all 6 eggs and beat on low until mixed; then turn on high and beat for at least 5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely
dissolved.
Stir in the salt and 2 tsp. vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the flour, one cup at a time, and beat
just until smooth. Spoon into a Bundt pan or Turk's Head pan that has been buttered and floured.
Bake at 325 for
approximately 50 minutes before checking; may need to bake for a full hour. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
Serve
warm or room temperature, plain or with ice cream or fruit. Will store well if kept in aluminum foil---if it isn't devoured all
at the first sitting, that is! There is no leavening needed; this cake will rise to fill the pan. Saralyn









I didn't get
to say "Goodbye"
All I could
do was scream and cry.
Oh, if only
I could take you in my arms,
As
I did when you were a child.
But only a
closed coffin would I see,
Leavin a broken
heart inside of me.
Only memories
filled with love
No more smiles,
no more hugs,
Only memories
filled with love
