Absolutely wonderful pound cake! We don't like maraschino cherries so I used 1 c. dried cranberries. I should've tossed them in the flour with the nuts so they would be distrubted more thoroughly throughout. I went with 2 hrs. baking time. The toothpick came out clean. Nothing worse than a dry cake so I went with that. Had a little bit of trouble getting it out of a well-greased/floured pan but that might be because the cranberries mostly fell to the bottom (top) without being tossed with the nuts in flour. Great raves and requests for this recipe at a potluck last night!

Wow. This cake is moist and everyone loves it. It has a great crust and it was sweet with a dusting of powdered sugar. I will make it again and again.

I'm rating this low due to the butter and shortening, plus the 5 eggs. It really is good, though, and if you don't have a health problem it's also lovely to look at. My husband really does like it, so it rates a 5 star in looks & taste.

This cake is fabulous. Dense and moist. Baked at 300 in my oven it was done in 1 1/2 hours. The only issue I had with this cake was getting it out of the bundt pan. Make sure to grease & flour this REALLY GOOD! Definitely a "keeper" recipe. Highly recommend! YUM!

I loved this recipe. I substituted buttermilk for the condensed milk and used pecans instead of walnuts. It was delicious. I frosted with Satiny Chocolate Glaze.

Excellent cake. I gotta say that I usually burn everything I try to bake .. but not this cake ! Maybe it was the low temperature -- I don't know. I did only cook mine for about 2 hours. Also added an amaretto glaze after it had cooled. (Just mixed powdered sugar and amaretto until the right consistency).

The cake is sweet with a moist dense texture. No icing is needed but beware...let the bake the entire 2 1/2 hours. I was nervous from reading other reviews and took it out 20 minutes early and the bottom of the cake wasn't completely finished baking.

I have never gotten so many great comments on a cake in my life. I have made it several times for all different groups and it pleases everyone. I dust mine with powdered sugar.
