A completed lemon-jello pound cake.I pulled out some old recipes and stared cooking more foods that are not gluten free. I don't get to enjoy them myself, but my family does.

This is a recipe from the 60s or 70s and it is one of our favorites. It was fun making it again and they said it was great. It sure did smell good.

After dinner, I froze the remainder in serving sizes to make it last longer. It's less tempting when out of sight and in the freezer. Gotta watch that waistline.

This is the best cake. Simple to make and taste heavenly. I am so glad it freezes well. I am a single person and making a whole cake just for me is a waist. And I did mean WAIST, because that is where it all ends up if I make a cake.

Now I can cut it up and freeze it in small portions. Out of sight, out of mind. A piece here and there is not so bad. Thanks for finding this recipe from your old files.
