This cake turned out AWESOME. I used butter flavored crisco and used the electric mixer to cream butter and sugar, but I mixed the rest by hand, so not to add too much air to the batter. I used vanilla instead of almond and used a spongcake pan so no overflow. Some reviews said it was too light and spongecake like, but mine was not, it was perfect, very heavy, was not too sweet, was perfect. I used large eggs instead of extra large (didnt want it too fluffy), and I used cake flour. I made 2 and glazed one with milk and powdered sugar, they were both incredible, I even rotated flour and milk, beginning with flour and ending with flour. Can't say enough about this recipe, I will use it forever now! Thank you!!!

This is a truly wonderful pound cake--moist, tender with perfect texture and delicious flavor. I used half to make the Berry Trifle from this site and froze the other half. This will be my main pound cake recipe from now on. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!

This was great but it took considerable more time to cook- all worth it in the end.

The best first cake I ever made. The cake was very moist and tasty. The only change I made was to use butter flavor shortening. I made this for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas. Everyone that tried it wants to know when I will make it again. Thank you

This pound cake is excellent!! I have tried others, but this is my favorite. Makes a super-dense cake with great flavor (I used 1 tsp. almond, 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla.) I also used Butter Flavored Crisco for the shortening. I will definitely make this again (and again, and again...)

I love this recipe, its a hit every time I make it. I recommend using Pam Baking Spray with flour to spray your bundt pan with before adding the batter it works very, very well.

Fabulous pound cake. I substituted 1 tsp lemon and 1 tsp vanilla flavors, because I do not like almond. People raved about it. I was served with just powdered sugar on top. I gave it as a gift for Christmas and the recipients said it was gone too fast. Thanks for Aunt Johnie. Does she have any more recipies?

This was my first attempt at baking a pound cake. It was heavenly as is!! It was dense...very much like the pound cakes we used to buy from the bread store as a kid. I used a bundt pan, and I put some pound cake icing on mine (tbls orange juice, milk, and conf. sugar). It was delicious! Next time I'll try to put whipped cream and strawberries on it.

Unbelievable recipe- I can't make enough of it! I sometimes make it with 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of almond.

this is the best cake recipe on this site.. I cut down the sugar to 2 1/4 cups.. I had no cake flour on hand today, so I removed 2T flour per cup, and double sifted the flour... I used only vanilla ex, I don't like almond.. and the result was a moist, delishous, creamy, melt in your mouth cake... I will use this recipe from now on as my signature cake... this is great for weddings and birthdays, it's to to good 100 stars!!!! my husband refuses to eat store bought pound cake ever again...

This is the best recipe I have ever found for pound cake. I take this to all functions and it is always a hit. I find the almond extract gives the cake a unique flavor that is very delightful. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with me. It is now one of my all time favorites.

Excellent! It took a little longer than expected to cream the butter, shortening and sugar together; will be sure to work with room temp butter next time. The almond flavor was a little strong; but a great cup of tea cuts the almond quite nicely. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious & very moist I used a combination of vanilla & coconut extract for flavoring. Drizzle the top with a coconut glaze and toasted coconut.

Wow! This is one of the very best recipes I've tried, on any website; moist, densely crumbed, and freezes beautifully. The only changes I made to the receipe were to exclude the Almond extract (not my favorite) and replace it with 1 tsp Vanilla and 1 tsp. Lemon extract. Oh, and I added about a 1/2 cup Sour cream to the batter... it just seems to make baked goods extra tender and moist. I used a cookie sheet lined with greased parchment and spread the batter on that; needed very little time in the oven. I was then able to slice it into 3 rectangular sections, which froze beautifully. Layered the defrosted layers with raspberries and cream... holy smokes! I will pass this recipe on to my two girls; it's in my 'keeper' file!

i used this for a trifle and it turned out good. i think by itself though it would have been a little too sweet for me. my partner liked it by itself though. also, i used regular flour instead of cake flour as i didn't have any on hand.

Thanks for the recipe, Jean! I followed the recipe exactly as you have written and it TURNED OUT PERFECT! It was so moist and just the right height. I used it as a base in a berry trifle dessert so it was nice to save a "few" cubes of cake off to the side :-) My hubby LOVED it! Definitely a keeper!
