<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I don't know about everyone else, but I have a very hard time thinking of side dishes to compliment my main dish. This is actually not a family recipe, but it's one that I have used for years, and I've seen it or something similar at a number of church dinners and such. I think these potatoes go especially well with ham. This is definitely comfort food. I think you will enjoy making this recipe. :)</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is my maiden blog posting here at Southern Specialties, and I am going to start out with a food that is undoubtedly southern. . . Sun Drop Pound Cake!!! Sun Drop is a golden carbonated beverage that is so heavenly that angels gather near when someone opens a new can (maybe they are just on standby due to the fact that the caffeine content has been known to give some the heart flutters). Seriously though, it's the stuff that dreams are made of. To say that I am addicted to this amazing substance would be an understatement, for sure. Until recently, Sun Drop has been a regional drink, appearing only in a few areas of the country, but it is my understanding that it is now starting to be available nationwide. I have made many, many pound cakes over the years, but just made my very first ever Sun Drop Pound Cake last night. It is divine! I actually remembered to get pictures as I went along, so that's why Sun Drop Pound Cake is my first blogging subject.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Also, as you might know, we are a NASCAR family. So, for those who might be interested
in the NASCAR aspect, it is my understanding that this cake was Dale
Earnhardt's favorite cake which his mom, Martha, made for him.
Supposedly, Dale Earnhardt was quoted as saying about this cake, " If
you put a piece on top of your head, your tongue will beat your brains
out trying to get to it" If the Intimidator thinks this cake is that
good, then it MUST be good! :)</span></i></h3>

<br />
First of all, gather your ingredients. I like to have everything all laid out ahead of time. It makes the process of assembling whatever I am making much simpler! You will need:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A greased and floured tube pan (without the removable bottom). You could also use a bundt pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 cups of All Purpose Flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 cups of sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
½ cup of shortening (I only use Crisco)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 eggs, room temp is best</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 sticks of butter, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup of Sun Drop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 teaspoons lemon flavoring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>NOTE: Do NOT preheat your oven. This cake goes into a cold oven, so you don't turn the oven on until you put the cake in.</b></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you will begin to add your flour and Sun Drop. Add them alternately with each other. I do this in about three segments: one-third of the flour, then one-third of the Sun Drop, then repeat until it's all added. Mix well.</div>

Now that we have our cake batter ready, it's time to add it to our greased & floured tube pan. This batter is thick. Make sure you spread it into your pan evenly. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, place your cake into a <b>COLD</b> oven, then turn the oven to 325°. You will bake the cake for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure you let your cake get plenty brown. Pound cake tends to look done on top but still have a ribbon of raw batter in the center. Don't rush it!</div>

Next, we will make our glaze for the top of the cake. You will need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
¼ cup of Sun Drop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Alternately, you may use milk in the place of Sun Drop for a traditional glaze.</i></div>
