First time I tried this I wasn't impressed, my sister had brought it over and she ended up leaving some behind. The next day I tried it again and was hooked, it's one of those better the next day things. I make it all the time and love the subtle sweetness. It's fabulous with fresh berries. I also like to add fresh orange zest every once in a while to change it up. Definitely worth a try.

Since I discovered this cake it is the only pound cake I will make. I have lowered the sugar to 2 1/2 cups as we felt the 3 cups was too sweet. The 2 1/2 cups makes it perfect.

This recipe is excellent. I followed all directions accordingly and my family loved the pound cake. It reminds me of the way my grandmother use to make pound cake.

The recipe was simple to follow and I followed it step by step but my cake did not turn out very good. It tasted too floury, it wasn't sweet enough, and I did not taste the vanilla. The bake time needs to be adjusted because my cake was too dark. My family was disappointed and I ended up throwing the cake out.
