Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Pound cake everybody knows a pound of everything right, each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. The traditional recipe makes a cake much larger than we can eat, and so the quantity is often changed to suit the size of the cake that is desired. Pound cake lover is everywhere which involves the substitution of sour cream for some of the butter, which also is intended to produce a more moist cake with a pleasantly tangy flavor.Some like to put a can of 7up soda make it more lemon taste Some of these variations may drastically change the texture and flavor of the pound cake, but the name pound cake is often still used. so was your flaver? just add it to the numerous variations on the traditional pound cake and be created.

Southern Candied Yams



My mother made the best yams in the whole world and I am not kidding, well she was my mom so what can I say....

But her yams did melt in your mouth with lots of favor and look and smell so good.

You can tell a good candied yam dish just by looking at it....the color have a lot to do with it that bright orange and yellow color with that gloss of shine and that syrup of goodness.

What made the yams bright is the lemon juice and give it that clean and light taste.

I remember some one bought some candied yams to a church dinner and I just could believe how dark the dish of yams was.

I guess they used dark brown sugar and a lot of dark powder nutmeg and bake those potatoes in the oven to long,

Nobody did not eat those yams and I felt sorry for that sister or brother bring those to the church event.

Ohhhhhh I know what they did, they used the yams in the can and try to fix them up. please please don't ever uses sweet potatoes in a can to make candied yams.
