This is Yummy 😋

"When I was a kid, my grandmother always made her famous White Christmas Pie for our big family dinner. It's hard to describe the taste to someone who has never had it, but trust me, it's divine! When she passed away, I looked high and low for this recipe, without any luck. I am so grateful to have found it again, Now I can carry on the Christmas tradition for our family!"

Pound Cake: I creamed 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of butter flavored shortening, 8 ounces of buttermilk and 4 cups of sugar. I added 10 large eggs one at a time. Next, I added 4 cups all-purpose flour, a cup at a time, until it was all incorporated. Lastly, I added 1 teaspoon, each, of vanilla, butter and, banana flavorings. I poured the batter into my greased and floured pan (10-inch, 10-12 cups), and I baked at 325 degrees for 1 hour 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean. I cooled for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Moist, delicious and ready for the road! During segregation, black people were limited where they could stop to eat. So, they usually traveled with food. If you’ve never seen the movie “Green Book”, it shared this history. No, thank goodness, I don’t have to do it. However, when I don’t want to spend a lot of money during long road trips, I have a pound cake, fried chicken or luncheon meat and bread in the back seat! Good eatin! As always, my recipes are a guide. Be creative...make it your own!

Got my cookbook? For more pound cake ideas, get the book! The price is reduced until they are all gone. I have no plan of ordering more. Get yours while they last. They make nice gifts!

Added note: I used an old pan (picture below) given to me by an older friend. I was prepared for it to spill over, but shockingly, it didn’t. I don’t know if I’ll chance it again. Use the biggest pan you have to accommodate that amount of batter.
