Holiday Pound Cake with Strawberry Topping image

We top off our Thanksgiving feast with this mellow, tender cake dressed up with a strawberry topping. Pound cake is a southern tradition, and I'm proud to say I've baked hundreds of them in 83 years. It's a pleasure to share my recipe. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was thrilled to find this recipe that doesn't contain any nuts. It's so hard to find good dessert recipes that are also allergy-friendly.
