Very easy. Delicious! Taste even better the next day. I think I will add more chocolate chips next time. Mine took exactly 60 minutes to bake.

This is a delicious cake! One thing to note--I copied the recipe exactly (except used canola oil instead of vegetable oil) and it turns out to be more of a chocolate cake than a yellow cake. So I wouldn't expect it to look like the yellow cake in the picture. But it tastes delicious!

I wouldn't really consider this to be a pound cake, more like just a yellow cake (I used vanilla pudding rather than chocolate because it's what I had on hand). Actually, I think it tastes like a cake version of chocolate chip cookies. People loved it - who doesn't love cake and chocolate? - and my classmates requested I bring it for the next pot luck. It's quite sweet, and it tasted to me like a cake-mix cake more than others I've made. I made mine as mini-bundts (so cute!) and I think it took about 15 minutes less than the lowest recommended time, so about 35 minutes I think. This is definitely easy and quick, but I think next time I'll just make the poundcake from scratch. There's just nothing like the real thing.

The cake was good, but definitely is not a traditional pound cake. It was more like a boxed cake. The cake was extremely moist and a bit gooey even after an hour baking at 335 degrees.

This is a great cake, but I make it a little differently. I substitute 3/4 cup of strong coffee for the water and add 3/4 cups chopped pecans. It is always a hit, and so moist.

This is a very yummy recipe! I baked it in 2 8" rounds, filled it with whipped ganache, and covered it in chocolate ganache. It was a great combination. I sent it to work with my hubby and everyone loved it.

I haven't actually made this (yet) but a friend of mine made it for us after our baby was born. It was delicious! I am not a huge fan of cake because I always find it dry, but this was extremely moist, even after several days. She substituted the chocolate/peanut butter swirl chips.

I absolutely love this recipe, I've made it 3x in 1 wk to share with work, family and friends. I did cut the oil a bit, used fat-free,sugar-free choc.pudding, and low-fat sourcream and,there was no difference in the outcome. I used 1 cp of the mini choc. chips and 2tsps of vanilla,then I cooked it exactly 60min so i didn't have to take out and put in again. Rave reviews from everyone. I too will try the lemon/blueberry version. Can't wait!

So far, for recipe that called for box mix, this is the best (and trust me, i've done quite a few). But saying that, i do make some changes to the recipe. I put 100ml of oil , 30ml of applesauce, and substitute the water with 230ml of coffee (and i reduce the sugar to 80g coz i don't have sweet tooth). And the taste is absolutely wonderful, i have the perfect texture (for my taste, haha) and it's not too oily too, unlike some other box mix recipe. It takes me 50mnts at 175C and 30mnts at 150C till it's done (i reduce the temperature to prevent cracking).

This was fantastic! It was so moist. I did have to increase the cook time by about 10 minutes but everything else was perfect. I would not cut down the oil. The only thing I would advise against is using the Williams Sonoma Castle Bundt Pan. It was a nightmare to clean.

Yummy! I used a vanilla cake mix (since I didn't have yellow), reduced the oil to half a cup and used 3/4 c. of mini chocolate chips. It took a little longer to cook - 68 minutes However, it tasted very good and was so moist.
