Happy Valentines Day
In remembering my ancestors on this love holiday, I decided to make a treat that was popular in my family before the 1960s….Lemon Cornbread Pound Cake with a Lemon Glaze. This dessert was made on special occasions like today. Cornmeal was an inexpensive dry good and it was used to make cornbreads, a batter for fish and meat, Johnny cakes, hush puppies, etc. But Black folks also used it in desserts before boxed pound cake mix became popular. Here’s a shout out to the ancestors.
