Morning,

I am looking for a pound cake that my mom made when I was a little girl. It was 
printed on a rectangle piece of paper that came from the Furr's Grocery store. 

On one side was a Western Pound Cake made with powdered sugar and on the other side 
was a Golden Western Cake made with brown sugar.

I would like to have that recipe because I remember it being very good.

Thank you, Anice
