This was great, a keeper in my recipe box for special people only. Was looking for a quick, no fuss pound cake recipe. Had all the ingredients and didn't have to run out to buy anything I thought. Shortening? Recipe called for shortening the one thing I did not have. Thought cake won't come out quite right without shortening. As in Crisco (the white stuff in the blue can). Was not sure of what to substitute. Discovered vegetable oil, canola, peanut oil, lard or butter would do. Elected butter for original butter flavor. Scaled back on the sugar, added some sour cream to the recipe. Nirvana!!! Took it to a church meeting. Didn't want to face the guilt of devouring an entire cake by myself.
