mississippi pound cake:

Ingredients:

3 cups sugar
2 sticks softened butter
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups flour
1/4 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
2 small t vanilla

Directions:

1. Cream together the sugar and softened butter.
2. Add 4 eggs, 1 at a time.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda.
4. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the sugar mixture.
5. Add vanilla.
6. Pour into a butter/floured bundt pan.
7. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for an hour and 15 minutes.
8. Cool.  I like to gently loosen the sides a bit with a spatula and then flip out onto a cake plate.

Topping suggestions:

1. With powdered sugar, sliced strawberries or fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream
2. With chocolate sauce and ice cream, or chocolate fondue
3. With sorbet

Endless possibilities!

Enjoy!
