I have made this cake 3 times. The first time was a disaster I used self rising flour instead of all-purpose so it was salty and spilled all over the stove. I made it again for Thanksgiving and the batter made a bundt and a loaf. I made it again for Christmas to take to work. I go tmany complements on this cake. It was the best cake I ever made.

This pound is very good. My husband ate almost the whole thing. He loved the crust it made and my kids said, it was the bomb. Excellent recipe. Thanks

WOW! I have never made a pound cake before. I didn't have a selection of extracts to use, so I went with vanilla extract, some coconut rum, and fresh lime juice. The batter itself was unbelievably delicious (I'm a spoon-licker). And when it came out of the oven, it was sooooooo moist and perfect. I melted some white chocolate chips with some lime juice, a little milk, and some confectioner's sugar to make an 'icing.' All the guys at work thought it was heaven.

This recipe was a fabulous base to work from. However, I did make some modifications. I only used 1/2 teaspoon of each of the 4 flavors (almond, lemon, orange, raspberry), however, I used 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of coconut to balance the flavors. Also, I used 7-up instead of milk. However, I did add about a 1/2 cup of evaporated milk to the recipe. Finally, I made the glaze out of sugar as the recipe suggest, then I added 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar to it. This cake was a real hit for Thanksgiving. Everyone is still raving about it.

This is the best pound cake I've ever made and eaten - Oh so moist and delicious. The flavourings can easily be substituted for what you or prefer without affecting the quality. I used this recipe for a wedding cake and everyone raved about it. Awesome!

This cake was fantastic, everyone I make it for loves it even the pickiest eaters. I am always changing up the flavors and sometimes even add a bit of rum to the recipe. The only thing that I do differently is brushing on the glaze in layers while the cake is still hot so that it can soak into the cake. Then I chill the cake for a few hours then add powdered sugar to the glaze mixture and add a final coat before serving or wrapping individually. Thank you very much for this great recipe, I will cherish it always.

I thought this was really good. I only had butter, vanilla, and lemon flavoring. I thought it had too much lemon flavor but my guests LOVED it and I brought one to work and they loved it. Very moist.... It does make an odd amount of batter. I made one loaf and one small bundt.

I hate to disagree with all other reviews here... but I found this cake to be just so-so. The flavors all seem to be at odds with each other and the glaze adds to the flavor competition. Yes, it's moist but the texture is not nearly as nice as other pound cakes I have made. It is very, very sweet and the glaze seemed to add more density, making it heavy, even for a pound cake. So... it's OK but not something I will add to my list of favorites.

I made this pound cake for a strawberry torte out of the Pampered Chef cookbook that called for a boughten cake...I am so glad I didn't rush to the store and decided to make it from scratch instead...this was perfect! I did not have all of the flavorings, so used vanilla, almond, and butter - a teaspoon of each. I baked it in a 17x12 in. pan for 1 hour...was a little too much batter for that size pan and don't think I will bake it as long next time...but I will definitely be using this cake the next time the recipe calls for "store bought"!

I made this cake for a friend's birthday party and it was a hit! It was super moist and full of flavour, I had to change a couple of things due to what I had on hand in my pantry. I used some lime zest and juice as well as an ounce of real rum instead of the extract for the glaze, and since I had run out of milk I used coconut milk and omitted the coconut extract...Thank you, I will definitely make this again!

Five stars for flavor and texture! I must say, however, that the recipe should state that it will not fit in a bundt pan. I kept out some of the batter to put in a couple small pans, but everything ended up running over a bit. This is a rich, super sweet dessert - perfect for those special occasions!

I thought the flavor was wonderful, however the glaze made it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I think I will just dust the cake with powdered sugar instead of pouring on the glaze.

This cake was simple to make, it came out perfect! The only substitution made, was using various flavors of extracts - I used what was on hand (almond, vanilla butter nut, lemon, banana). The cake is so moist and flavorful...It's a keeper!
