Barbadian Plain Cake
This Barbadian plain cake is a simple pound cake that's good with a cup of tea. My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados in about 1906. She read this recipe to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day.
