This super rich, moist, delicious pound cake will serve perfectly with your morning cup of coffee or favorite scoop of ice cream at dinner time! Here's what you need for Old Fashion Buttermilk Pound Cake:

• 2 stick butter soften
• 1/2 cups shortening
• 2 cups sugar
• 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 5 eggs room temperature
• 2 cups flour

Place into a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Your cake should appear a nice golden brown. Turn off the oven and cover the top of the cake with foil, letting it rest in the oven until oven is completely cool. Remove and let cake rest for another 10 minutes before removing from the pan. You're now ready to slice and serve, enjoying what I like to call MISSISSIPPI GOODNESS.
