I promised  yummy apple cake, and here it is!!

Apple Pound cake...yum!!

It tastes even better with a beautiful sterling fork--"Louvre" from 1893 by Wallace, a vintage monogrammed napkin, and dessert plate by Sakura, "Sonoma."

The cake server is also "Louvre" and dates to 1896. The punch bowl is antique from Spain, "Roma SL Madrid."

Please, have a bite! Or, if you are too far away, I'll include the recipe!

This is a typical pound cake recipe...stirred not beaten. I found it years ago in a local cookbook my grandmother gave me called, "Won't You Stay For Supper? More Hazel Creek and Southern Mountain Cooking." I don't think it's in print anymore, but if I can find it, I will post a link.
