Pound cake is a comforting piece of sweetness that always reminds me of home. I love it homemade, there are certainly some delicious store-bought versions, but nothing really compares to homemade. This recipe has some added texture with the addition of cornmeal. If sweet cornbread was to marry to pound cake you would have this recipe, moist, buttery goodness.

I’m really loving the theme/design of your web site.
Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems?
A handful of my blog audience have complained about my website not operating correctly
in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any advice to
help fix this problem?

Yes I do run into compatibility issues at times, I am not an expert by any stretch of an imagination, I try and tweak it, or start at the basic platform and work my way back to the issue step-by-step, I use Genesis Themes for Word Press by Studio Press, so that helps a bunch. They have tutorial and forums which I reference if necessary! Thank you for your kind words I hope this helps!
Saved as a favorite, I love your website!
