Delicious and very moist. It did take about 1hr and 20min for it to bake thoroughly.

This pound cake is Awesome!!! I read the reviews and made these changes... reduced the sugar to 3 cups and I like vanilla so I used 2 capfuls, I didn't sift the dry ingredients, all butter and cheese and also eggs were room temperture.I did beat the egg whites with a little sugar,folded them in with the mixer and beat the mixture some more and baked in a bundt pan for 1hr25 mins.The cake turned out light and also dense with a wonderful crust that isn't too hard nor too soft.I will make this pound cake again and again.It is perfect!!!

This cake takes some effort but it is well worth it. I have made it several times and have never been disappointed. I usually cut the sugar down to 3 cups and take 1/4 cup out of this to beat with the egg whites. I add butter nut and vanilla flavoring and a sprinkle of mace for added extra flavor. The recipe calls for a bunt pan, I'm able to make a small loaf cake out of the batter as well. This has become one of my most requested recipes.

Very tasty and moist. I used 3 sticks of butter and vanilla extract instead of butter extract. I also used 3 cups of sugar instead of 3 1/2 and the cake was very sweet. The batter was VERY thick. I found it quite difficult to fold in the egg whites. By the time I got them in, I'm not sure that it was worth it. Surely the air in the whites was gone and added no benefit to the cake. Once the cake came out of the oven, I didn't find it to be very big or to have risen very much. So, I guess I have some work to do on this one. Has anyone else experienced this with this recipe?

This recipe was absolutely wonderful. I am making a three tiered wedding cake this Sept, so I have been busy practicing with this recipe. To spice it up for my family, I used Almond Extract and 2 tablespoons of Poppy seeds.. that was to die for. only problem I have is that it likes to get really dark on the bottom. Will try a couple of things to see if we can eliminate the darkness. Great recipe.

I made this cake for my neighbors retirement party. It was delicious and moist. I used 3 sticks of butter, decreased the sugar to 3 cups and used vanilla extract instead of butter. I will definitely prepare again. I will use two extracts next time for even more flavor.

Excellent flavor! A little eggy, and VERY sweet, but it tasted great. I made a pink castle cake with it for my daughter's birthday party and everyone loved it! Next time I will try cutting back the sugar by 1/2 cup.

I cut the recipe down to 9 instead of 12. I only had 3/4 of a package of cream cheese. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. I baked the pound cake 8 minutes longer than suggested in the recipe. I didn't have a bundt pan, so I used a spring form pan. I cut half of it into pieces, and after reading that the cake freezes well, I placed the rest of it in the freezer. We'll see how it is later on. This was my first time making a pound cake, and it turned out great!

I made this cake and gave it to my hairdresser as a thank you gift. Two other stylist in the shop tasted it and now they're paying me to make them cakes! I've been looking for a good pound cake recipe and my search is over! This is THE BEST tasting pound cake I have ever made. I think adding the egg whites is what makes this cake. I like old fashioned pound cakes and this is it! The texture is great, the taste is awesome!

I rarely write a review but this recipe is really great and deserves recognition.I have made it several times and have modified it with various flavorings but the flavor that gets the most compliments is the butter flavor. I have also used butter flavor Crisco to substiture part of the butter. This is a great recipe!!!!

GREAT WITH BLUEBERRIES TOO! (make sure to roll them in flour before floding into dough so that they don't sink to the bottom)

This is the best pound cake recipe I have ever tasted! Once when I made it I thought it needed a little longer in the oven, so I turned the oven off and meant to come back in ten minutes, but forgot and got back to it a half an hour later and it was still the moistest, most delicious pound cake I've ever eaten (except this recipe baked the proper length of time). I'd give it more than 4 stars if I could!

When I baked it the smell was amazing and I nibbled on some crust when it was done to get a taste it was really good as well. But when we ate it later on after it had cooled it wasn't very good. It tasted plain and floury. I was dissapointed.

I was not thrilled with this cake and neither was my family. The flavor was a little off though it was certainly rich. I do not think I'll be making this one again.

This was really moist. It seemed to be missing something, though. I think the problem was that I used unsalted butter. A little more salt (i.e. the amount found in salted butter) would have made a more flavorful cake.
