No Fail Pound Cake

SUBMITTED BY: patsy PHOTO BY: Java_Girl

"This is one of the best pound cakes I've ever tasted. It's simple to make, starting with a store bought mix. I often take one to work where it quickly disappears. I also use this recipe at Christmas time to make 6 small loaves for gifts, which take about 15 minutes less."
