Sweet MaMa’s Pound Cake

This is a recipe I have been after for YEARS!!!

There is this little place in St Simon’s called Sweet Mama’s. Okay I have tried and tried to get this recipe with no avail….I have begged for the recipe begged! When wal la I find the recipe on the internet after looking for it many, many times over the years ~ OMGoodness!

I made it and this is it!! This is it!! It is so yummy! Homey dessert but oh so yummy! But hey you know me I have to tweak it just a little…I think the topping was a little runny ~ so there no I can’t leave it alone oh well.

I am not a box making cook so ~ I was so reluctant!! But, I did and oh my so glad I did!!

It is like a pound cake with cheese cake on top then pecans and powdered sugar ~ will put you in a diabetic fit! Enjoy!!

Aunt Dee’s Pound Cake

16 oz pound cake mix ~ Dromedary brand {Publix)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup butter softened
1/4 cup whole milk
1/8 cup heavy cream ~ 1/4 measure next time how about it
1 box 10x powder sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
8 oz cream cheese softened

Combine pound cake mix, 2 eggs, milk, cream and butter mix well and add to a half sheet baking pan 13 x 9 {Chicago Metallic Pan}  ~ yes, you must use parchment paper ~ you want it to come out don’t you? Spread evenly over the pan.

Combine the cheese, powdered sugar {reserve about 1/4 cup for top} 3 eggs and vanilla ~ mix well beat in standing mixer well, spread over 1st layer.

Amazon sells this… yep they do they have everything!!

Could not find the Dromedary mix this week.  So, I got the Betty Crocker Mix and it was still really good ~ We could not tell the difference. 

The pans after added the pound cake batter ~ make 2 one for us and one to take to someone else.It looks the same doesn’t it? This is after the cream cheese layer is added.  

add pecans to cream cheese layer

Dust with powder sugar ~ Bake at 350 for 40 minutes cool and cut and eat. Oh this brings back such sweet memories!
Keep in the fridge ! Yummy…. yummy! This is as good as it gets !! Thanks Marsha :O)

Note to self ~ Made changes and it is just right now ~ no more tweaking ~ wow GREAT!! Leave it alone !! heee heee ~ K

Note ~ on the Dromedary mix seems as if this is a seasonal mix. I made my own if you want the info let me know and I will post it is amazing! I have also used the Betty Cocker mix and Pillsbury ~ Dromedary is best and cheapest too ! Okay
