Grandma Jane ALWAYS had a pound cake in the fridge. Some of our fondest memories from our childhood involve running off the school bus and heading straight for their refrigerator for a slice of pound cake and a scoop of ice cream.

We recently found the BEST recipe for homemade pound cake (aka: butter cake) on Cookies and Cups and made it for our Memorial Day picnic. It certainly did not disappoint. Not only was it easy and relatively quick to make, it also just happens to be the perfect foundation for a mound of fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream topping.
