I love this recipe. I also love Ina's recipe in her newest book. 'The Perfect Pound Cake' is without a doubt the best pound cake I have ever made. Rave reviews! Can't wait till the recipes from the new book make it to TV. Love you so much Ina!!!

Excellent! I was confused with the recipe calling for the sugar to be divided, but after reading the other comments I decided that the 2 cups of sugar should be added all at once to the butter. Also, next time I make the cake I may try cutting the sugar to 1 1/2 cups as it was quite sweet, but still delicious.

This cake was really good. It was a delicious plain pound cake that pleases everyone. My only complaint is that it was a little too tangy, maybe too much buttermilk.

By mistake I used the whole quantity of orange juice in the cake. I also added diced dried apricots and raisins. I took some of the cake batter, I added to it 2 tbsp of cocoa powder (I removed 2 tbsp from the 3 flour cups at the beginning and make it marbled, the result was a fantastic and tasty cake (very moist. After the oven baking, I made some holes in the cake top and poured on it some of the orange syrup I made. I added orange jam to the rest of the syrup and cut the cake in half and filled it with. Thanks a lot Ina it is my best pound cake ever...

This is the best pound cake ever. It is buttery and rich tasting. It is easy to make and has ingredients I always have on hand. My only problem with it is that I have to work hard not to eat the WHOLE CAKE! It is absolutely wonderful. It is great plain or with berries on top. Every time I have served it, I have been asked for the recipe.

Plain is exactly how I would describe this. I was looking for a good authentic pound cake recipe and this tastes plain old blah. I wish I had read the review of this not being authentic and referring to alton brown. I followed the recipe precisely but was not at all pleased.

My family loved this pound cake. I served it with some strawberries and whipped cream for an awesome strawberry shortcake. Not too heavy like most recipes. Thanks Ina, your the best!

Ina's recipes never seem to disappoint. I never made pound cake from scratch, so I was a little iffy. But this recipe is amazing. It tastes like the freezer Sandra Lee pound cakes you find at grocery stores for 5 dollars a loaf, but this cake tastes home made of course. People found it to sugary by reading the reviews, but I didn't. I followed the recipe as instructed and found it well balanced with the little saltiness you put in. Definitely will be looking forward to making this again !

I made this for my family yesterday and they loved it. Although we still have some left they are asking for me to make it again.
