I was excited about this cake, followed the recipe to a T, and planned to use it in a cake with a mold that needed a firm cake. But it didn't rise at all - I should have read the other review to add some baking powder or soda. I left it in the 1 1/2 hours and it seemed done, but cutting into it the deck day the middle was still undercooked. On the positive side the taste is great if your looking for a dense cake - just be sure to cook it more.

This is my first time baking a homemade cake and by far this is the best cake ever!!! I have baked 2 in one week.

I've been looking for a pound cake recipe just like this for a while now. I got to where I did not like my old one anymore but this, now this is a keeper. Even 5 days later still great maybe better. Thanks, Diana Moore for the recipe!

First time making it, and it turned out awesome! (even without the vanilla extract because I didn't have it.)

The top turned out hard, but the rest was good. It was easy to carve, except for the sides which also came out hard, and that was after putting it in for ten minutes less then it says.

The best pound cake I've ever had. I think the heavy whipping cream is what makes it!!

This recipe is exactly the same as one I used to make when I was a younger man. I had searched for a good pound cake recipe since, but they usually required leavening, which made them to "airy". I prefer a dense cake and this is the best I've tasted.

My Granddaughter surprised me with this cake for my birthday. The flavor is wonderful, we didn't put a thing on it. Another time I may add a lemon glaze on top and it just might make it a 6 star cake...will be making this cake a lot more.
