RECIPE AND PHOTO SUBMITTED BY Johnnie Smith
Lessie’s Pound Cake….one of my favorite. After my mom passed away, I found this one in her recipes and it was named after my mother Lessie. I dont know if she did that herself or if it was the name of it b/c it was handwritten. But here is a pic of the one I made a couple of months ago.
Here Goes: I have to give this recipe to you as it is written on this piece of paper.
