This cake was very heavy, rich, and moist. I would consider this recipe for advanced, patient bakers. If using a tube pan with a removable bottom, wrap foil around the outside of it and place pan on a rimmed cookie sheet or it could leak all over the oven! After cooking the frosting, I transferred it to a pyrex bowl to speed up the cooling process, but it still took a good amount of stirring to get it to frosting consistency. I found it much too sugary sweet and next time would opt for drizzling each cake slice with a little caramel sauce and garnish with some fruit for color.

This recipe was good, I used a 10' bundt cake pan, and the cake was overflowing in the oven, cake was everywhere. After the cake finish baking, it had sunk, and stuck to the pan... So what was left I put it in the cake pan. The icing was perfect, the cake was very moist, even though it is whop sided, but it is still good.. Could someone tell me what went wrong????!!! I will try again, I'm going to the store and purchase a 10' tube cake pan...

This poundcake tasted great (esp. the frosting) but was WAY to confusing to make. Read the entire recipe a few times before making this. Notice that under ingredients dark brown sugar and brown sugar are both listed but in the directions it doesn't indicate which one to use when. I believe dark brown is used in step 2. Good luck

I chose to add 3/4 tsp of salt (the AIB coming out in me) to this recipe as others noted blandness in finished cake. It was still on the bland side...but quite edible and certainly moist. The frosting was absolutely scrumptious. I will no doubt give this recipe one more go with a few changes but the frosting recipe will be used again and again.

very good, reminded me a lot of the caramel cake my grandmother used to make. the frosting I will admit is tough. my grandmother has been making this cake for many many years and it does take some trial and error to get it right. but once you get it right you will completely love it.

I made this and shared at work. People didn't believe I made it. Great reviews by all. Reading other reviews about the frosting, yes, it took some time set up but I used a mixer and it turned out perfect... A keeper.Thank you

This cake was very well received by my family-the only drawback was that it took a long time and a lot of stirring to get the frosting ready, but when it was, it was absolutely delicious. I would make this cake again.

This cake tasted great right out of the oven, and the frosting was great, but the cake was pretty dry and hard the next morning. The directions were VERY confusing.

Cake was way too dry. The icing was good for caramel icing, but you have to know how to make it before attemping. The directions here were not too good. Won't make this one again.

The cake was quite good and I will make it again. The downside is that I had to stir the frosting for almost 15 minutes once it was taken from the heat.

I made it for my family and friends and no one liked it. It had a strange flour/caramel taste and the icing was super sweet. Maybe I didn't make it right the recipe was a little confusing.

When my husband likes something, he goes on and on about how good it is. He didn't do that with this one. Personally, I didn't care for it either. It was drier than what I'm used to fixing and the taste was not that good.

Excellent cake. The caramel takes FOR-EVER to cool down though. It may last 3 days between two of us :)

This cake is great! My sister-in-law made it for my dad's birthday after I found it on the net. My other brother was at her house the next day, but it was all gone. Her husband took it to work and a guy wanted her to bake him one.
