Delicious! Enjoyed making and guests enjoyed eating. I have also make almond variations as well. A special cake to make. I did not find it too sweet at all and neither did anyone I asked. Wonderful pound cake consistency. The glaze was well-liked as well. Will definitely make again. Great with coffee, for breakfast gatherings.

This is delicious! Made it for my hubby's birthday cake, and he loved it. I added 2 tablesppons sugar to the pecan mix; other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I generally don't have good luck with pound cakes, but I followed the instructions to the letter, and it was perfect--it has a wonderful crunchy crust and that good pound cake flavor. Definitely a repeat recipe.

I made this cake today and I loved it. It came out very light and moist. I used 2 cups of Splenda instead of sugar and 1/2 cup of the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. I also used 1 1/2 cups of sour cream. I mixed a half cup of walnuts with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of Brown sugar and put it into the center of the mixture. It really came out great.

I followed the recipe and the cake, in my opinion, was much too sweet. I should have gone with my gut and cut the sugar initially (3 cups of sugar for 3 cups of flour sounded like way too much! And it was.)I served it when it was warm, after cooling for 1 hr, and found it to be a very bland, heavy and greasy cake. I chose not to make the glaze as it was already so sweet, it didn't need the added sugar. I used a buttered and floured bundt pan, and didn't have any trouble turning the cake out. The only way I could salvage this cake was by cutting it into 1 inch wide, 3/4 inch thick, slices and baking them at 275 until dry and slightly crispy to make biscotti. I then dipped one side in some melted dark chocolate.

When I made this I left out the nuts because it was for a large dinner and some people don't like nuts - it still turned out wonderful. It has a great texture and taste. The glaze was a little runny so next time I might try adapting that but this is definately a keeper.

Much too sweet for my taste (and my family's taste and my friends' taste). Otherwise, nice and moist. Replacing 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of grated pecans really improved the favour and texture. I also should have dusted the baking pan with flour, because I had difficulties getting the cake out and some of the crust stuck to the pan. I did not use the glaze. The cake actually got better on the second and third day. I made it again for Easter and reduced the sugar to 2 cups - the cake turned out great, it was fluffier and less dense, and also much tastier.

I thought this was excellent, our dinner guests had 2 pieces each!! The only reason i am giving it 4 instead of 5 is because I didn't love the glaze as much as i thought i would. It didn't turn out so hot for me, i'm not sure why. So i'll try the glaze again and see if i can do a better job with it, but overall it really was great!! Huge hit with the company!

I made this for the 1st time for this years super bowl and I reduced the sugar to 2 1/2 Cups. Also, I only had salted butter so I didn't add any salt and I used reg. flour instead of cake flour. Everyone loved it but it was really heavy and sweet for me.

I made this for a friend's birthday and was dieting at the time so I couldn't taste it but everyone absolutely loved it. The only suggestion I got was to maybe use only 2 1/2 cups of sugar.
