Recipe: Strawberry Pound Cake (My Great Recipe Cards, 1980's)

Hi Cookie! I have the 1984 collection (incomplete) of My Great Recipe Cards and your pound cake recipe isn't in it but there is a Strawberry Pound Cake recipe which is a plain pound cake served with strawberries. I'm wondering if might be the same recipe used for All American Pound cake recipe in the 1986 set. In any case, here it is for you to check out. I'm hoping that one of our visitors will have the exact recipe you're looking for. Happy Baking! - Betsy

"There is nothing unusual about the ingredients in this cake - just the usual butter, flour and eggs. What sets it apart. however, is the wonderful buter-fresh flavor, guaranteed to please even the most demanding palate. We serve it with whipped Cream and strawberry slices, but it is just as good served plain."
