The best pound cake I've ever made, used almond extract instead of lemon and it was fine. Very light and not dry.

This recipe looks pretty close to the classic pound cake recipe, which if I remember correctly, had a pound each of eggs, butter, flour, and sugar with no baking powder. I can see why someone wouldn't like it. It's denser, drier, and less sweet than your typical cake mix cake, but I like it. It's really good topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. I bet it would go with a lot of different toppings and flavorings.

I used an electric mixer to mix the shortening, butter, and sugar, but I mixed all of the other ingredients by hand. On a whim, I tossed in a cup of peeled, cored & shredded granny smith apples. I left the topping off. This cake is so dense, moist and lemony, and it tastes wonderful when chilled - by far the best pound cake I've ever eaten, and so easy to make. Thanks!

Loved it! Simple to make. It made a huge loaf for just me and my husband, but I don't think he minded :) We both agree that it tastes better after it's been in the fridge overnight.

I made this folowing the recipe exact. Maybe I mixed it too much because it came out very dry. The favor is great and it makes a huge cake

I love pound cakes. This is my first pound cake I've baked. I've made it several times and very pleased that it always turns out great. Tasted just like the ones I grew up on eating the after church Sunday dinners. Now I can cook it myself. Moist and dense. My mother-in-law loves when I make it. Definitely a keeper.

This was so yummy! I used it in my berry/lemon trifle. I also ended up with a LOT of cake; this recipe made 2 extra large loaf pans (about 4 regular loaf pans). I was able to freeze for later use, which will be an added bonus in the summertime when you do not want to run the oven so much.

Very good. I made it with all butter. It was gone in a day. I only made half the recipe, which was plenty.

I made this the Saturday day and had to make another today it went soooo fast. The only thing I changed is the lemon extract to orange. I accidentally doubled the butter in the recipe, but it still turned out great.

Really great. I made it in two loaf pans, did not glaze (it was delicious on its own) and froze one. Even after I thawed the second one, the cake was fantastic.

This cake was okay. It has a nice taste, but it was a little dry to me. I think I'll leave it in the fridge overnight and try it again tomorrow.Hopefully it will be more moist the day after.

Great cake with wonderful dense texture. I wanted a stronger lemon flavor so I grated the zest of a lemon and added half the juice of the lemon to the batter. Used the other half to cut curlies for the top to decorate. Took to a summer party and everyone raved about the taste and texture. Will definately make this one again.

I've never been a huge fan of pound cake, but my husband LIVED on the Sara Lee kind before we got married. He won't go back to it after I made this for him!

just made it and it was fantastic - made it with almond extract instead of lemon - also the frosting used bottled lemon juice and a bit of vanilla - baked it a bit longer to get it crusty and it was alot of batter and i used 2 pyrex glass loaf pans and they came out perfect-also made them in convection oven because it was very hot outside - put them close together on raised rack and when i took them out the inside wasnt done well - rebaked each for 5 more minuets and just great - next time would switch pans half way thru for better browing - thank you barbara for a wonderful treat

Very good! I did not use the glaze provided but used a vanilla glaze. I also baked it in 2 loaf pans instead. Turned out great! Brought it to a Memorial Day Cookout and didn't have anything to take home!!

I'm eating a warm piece from the oven and it is GREAT!! I didn't have lemon extract, so I added a teaspoon of lemon zest and a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the batter. I also used about 3 Tablespoons of lemon juice and only 1 cup of confectioners sugar for the glaze. It turned out great and was more than enough for the cake. This is definitely going in my recipe box!

Wonderful pound cake. Made it today for dessert and it looks and tastes beautiful. The only change I made was to replace 1/2 cup of butter with 4oz. cream cheese. Thank you for sharing.

This was a great pound cake! I was out of lemon extract, so I used orange extract in the batter which worked well. I also needed to use about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to make the icing a drizzling consistency.
