This was a moist delicious cake that everyone loved! It was very easy to make and I'd definitely make it again! The little trick of mixing sugar and cinnamon and sprinkling that over the cooking spray in the pan just made it perfect!

A fabulous cake! I had to leave the pecans out (family nut allergy), but I don't think the taste suffered a bit. I did the sugar/cinnamon sprinkle as recommended and made a sour cream glaze to top it. My husband, who claims he doesn't like yellow cake, has eaten almost half of it already!

I used the new Betty Crocker gluten free yellow cake mix which allows my husband to enjoy this cake. It is absolutely delicious; I might even be able to give up chocolate for this wonderful cake. It was THAT good.

This was easy to throw together -- I had cheesecake pudding on hand and used it instead of the vanilla -- it was absolutely delicious. How moist and falvorful! We will be making this again and again!

Excellent pound cake. I too lightened it up but used nutmeg instead of the cinnamon for a different take on it. I toasted the pound cake slices the next day and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream dusted with nugmeg and a few chopped pecans for garnish. Excellent

I just polished off a slice with my morning coffee. Perfect coffee cake - not too sweet and very moist.
