This recipe, with a high rating, looked quite promising. Unfortunately, for our family's taste and my expectations of this pound cake, it was a bit of a disappointment.
All the ingredients were at the proper temperature. I made sure the butter and sugar were creamed (using a KitchenAid mixer) to a light fluffy texture. The recipe was followed to the "T" and the cake ended up being on the dry....almost crumbly dry side and rather bland.
In order to give it some interest and additional flavor I made a lemon glaze with a tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1 cup of confectionary sugar and two tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice. After drizzling it over the pound cake and letting the glaze harden we tasted it again. Still not up to par as far as pound cakes go in the moistness department.
I wouldn't make it again.
