Big Mamas Pound Cake

My fondest memory is when I got to help my Big Mama make this pound cake. I had just got done shucking peas, and I got to pour in the soda water for the cake. I felt like I was really helping. But Big Mama would mix the ingredients herself by hand and then grab the biggest wooden spoon to finish the job. Once the cake goes in the oven you couldn't even think about going into the kitchen until that cake was out the oven again. Big Mama wasn't going to let that cake fall. Then she'd take some of that same soda water and make a glaze to go on top. We couldn't wait to get a slice! It was the most moist cake you'd ever put in your mouth. This is my Big Mamas Pound Cake.
