This is a GREAT recipe for pound cake. it comes out perfect every time! I've made it like 10 times already and am always asked for the recipe! The only thing I did differently was baked at 325 degrees F for 90 minutes instead of 300. Great recipe!

This cake for me had a little too much sugar but it could have to do with the sauce I put on the top, otherwise this is a great pound cake. Excellent with coffee.

This was way too sweet. I should have followed the advice of another reviewer who cut back on the sugar. Not quite what I think of when I think of pound cake.

I made this for our Easter dessert yesterday. This is a nice simple recipe with simple ingredients that I had on hand. I did add a splash of lemon extract to give it a little more flavor. I made a simple cream cheese frosting and drizzled it over the top and sliced up some strawberries. It was loved by all :)

This is a great recipe I took half a cup of sugar away and it is still very sweet but thats good because I have a sweet tooth.In this recipe you could put in beries,any zest or what ever you like! Instead of margrine and shorting you could se butter. I took cream chesee frosting and melted it in the microwave and drizzeld it on top. This is great will make again!

I made this for dessert tonight and it was really good. I added a few tablespoons of natural peanut butter as a slight modification and that turned out great. Good recipe.

I cut down the sugar by 3/4 cup and the sweetness is just right for me. If you prefer it sweeter, add icing/ frosting. This pound cake recipe creates a nice, dense texture.

This is an overall delicious cake although I think next time I will take other reviewers advice and use butter instead of the margarine and shortening.

This is the "grandma style" cake I have been searching for for years! For a yummy twist, bring 1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. FRESH lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan and cook for 2 minutes. When your cake comes out of the oven, poke deep holes all over with a thin wooden skewer, then brush generously with the glaze. This tastes great and keeps the cake fresh! Works with orange juice, too, but only fresh-squeezed juices will do.

I've never been able to make a decent pound cake until this one. It was WONDERFUL!! I've made it twice but used lemon extract and zest in the second one. The were both fantastic. My husband took the lemon one to work and they scarfed it up immediately.

This was wonderful, with a couple of changes. I used all butter, left out 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 of flour (but I think it would have been fine with the extra flour). I also added caraway seeds, but thats a personal thing! It came out moist, dense but not heavy and flavorful, just the way pound cake should be. It tasted my my grandmother's lost recipe. This is the best pound cake I have ever made.

This pound cake was FABULOUS! I'm not the most experianced cook in the house but it tastes delicious!!! My mother said it tasted like the pound cakes that her relatives from the south used to make when she was a child. My siblings commented that it was too dense and moist, but quite honestly, I have no problem with the consistancy! I will most definitly make this cake again!!!

I'd like to give this 10 stars, it's that good. I substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and used all butter instead of shortening and margarine. It took an extra 15 minutes to cook but came out a beautiful golden color and the texture was unbelieveable. Thank you, Etta!

I made this for a valentine party I went to. It was wonderful. The cake was moist and dense. Sweet but not too sweet. I made it like the recipe said but it would be good with just about any flavoring added. The cold oven start was a a new one for me too. I did make one small change I added three drops red food coloring. It came out pink to boot!

I am totally not a cook nor a baker. I just never learned and never wanted to learn. However, this past Thanksgiving my family commissioned me to make a dessert, and I found this one online. Let me tell you, it's the BEST CAKE! My family went crazy over it. At first no one wanted to try it because I baked it and they didn't trust my skills, but after their first taste, that cake disappeared! They even begged me to bake it again for Christmas. If you're a coffee drinker, this cake dunks well in a cup of coffee...yummy!!!!
