I made this for a New Years Eve party. I was left with a plate of crumbs. It's a great recipe. I added additional flavorings because I was looking to recreate a childhood favorite. I added almond and coconut flavoring in addition to vanilla and lemon. It gives a very distinct flavor. And it is soooo very yummy.

Excellent taste! I made one small change: 1-1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp rum extract and it gave great flavor. I baked in 2 loaf pans and they are gorgeous cakes. Served with a brown sugar caramel sauce. Wow!

What a wonderful and tastey cake! Very moist! It's just as good after being frozen for a few weeks. (wrapped in plastic, foil and then bagged) I will use this recipe often! Thank you so much for sharing!

I wasn't impressed by this recipe. I followed it exactly but it definitely did not need to be baked as long as the recipe indicates! Mine was only in the oven for 55 mins (including the time it sat in the cold oven while preheating). The top had a strange texture and the sides got hard and sort of crystalized. I had to cut off the sides because they were inedible. That was ok though, because I was cutting the cake into pieces for dessert skewers anyway. The rest of the cake tasted very good!

I love this recipe! the first time I made a bund cake and turned out so well. the second time I made it in a metal loaf pan but the edges turned out a bit too over done and in the middle there was still a small uncooked spot. Bund cake it is! Thanks. will be making this many more times. I also added icing. so yummy.

This cake is absolutely delicious. I followed the directions minus the lemon(Because I didn't have any) and it came out as perfection. I used a cheese cake pan and it rocked.

I was out of ingredients I usually make my pound cake with and searched AR for a different recipe. I chose this one but was disappointed. I followed it to the letter except it tested done at 70 minutes instead of 80. After cooling for an hour, I removed from the parchment lined tube pan. It basically fell apart. My family did not not like the taste and texture as well as other recipes. I sliced and crumbled it up and am now toasting it. My husband will eat anything that is toasted. I was disappointed in the results and will not try this again. I see this recipe a lot in cookbooks and thought that it would be a good one. It was not our taste preference but the texture was the most disappointing of all. I needed it for a charity donation so now I have to make another one. Will make a trip to store and make my recipe. Sorry to all of you who love it but taste is an individual preference.
