I'm pretty sure Nanny got this recipe from her friend Jeanette. This isn't her oldest pound cake recipe, but she recommended this one to me once she started using it. It doesn't call for flavoring, but I normally put some in. Just add a couple teaspoons to taste. The kids love the Vanilla, Butter and Nut flavor, but you have to order that flavoring online. If you want to make it chocolate, just replace some of the flour with cocoa powder.
2 sticks butter, softened
3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
6 eggs
1/2 pint whipping cream
Mix all the ingredients and pour into a greased and floured pound cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
