This is a great pound cake..the longer it sits the better..it's best to make it 3 days in advance..try to resist eating before..it browns rather quickly, so you might have to tent it..

Made this for a friend. Well turns out that her grandma was there. She asked me for my recipe. Super moist and sweet.

Soooo delicious, and so much better than anything you can buy at the store. Great with fresh fruit or for strawberry shortcake.

This recipe was EASY and my 7 yr old son helped out with it. I was scared about using a new fluted pan. But it turned out GREAT! Very Tender VERY MOIST! WILL Definitely be adding this to my fav recipe book! The only thing I'd do different is the time adjustment. I didn't need a whole hour to cook. It was about 45mins (if that) So just keep an eye on it so it doesn't over cook. BUT GREAT POUND CAKE!!!!

This cake was a very light pound cake. My friend is a pastry chef and she loved it!!! It even tasted better the next day. I certainly would make it again. It traveled well and I just added a light glaze for sweetness, however, it stands alone as a all time family favorite...
