Unless you're making this cake for a special occasion, you can't help but cut a slice before it has cooled. It smells delicious and tastes divine. Instead of shortening, I used 1 1/2 cups of butter and it came out perfect. I was able to make a bundt cake and two mini loaf pans. Once the wonderful smell began wafting through the house, my family couldn't wait to have a slice of the mini loaves - and neither could I! This is most definitely the best pound cake recipe I have ever made. A keeper for sure.
