This was so easy to make and so delicious! My kids and husband wanted seconds! I served it with sliced peaches that had about two teaspoons of brown sugar mixed in with them (I'd let them sit for a little while, about 30 minutes and fresh whipped cream. I did cut the sugar by a 1/2 cup, and it was still plenty sweet. It was absolutely fabulous with the peaches and cream! If you're thinking about it, try it!!

This cake was very easy to make. It has a crispy crust that is oh so sweet. The inside of the cake is moist and fluffy. If you are looking for a simple pound cake to make this is it!

Excellent recipe! I tried it as is and the cake turned out to be too good. I'm new to baking and have tried 2 or 3 pound cake recipes in the last couple of weeks. This one is the best and absolutely flawless! Family and friends loved it. Thanks a ton Ina.

I thought this cake was so easy. I substituted cake flour for all-purpose flour, according to the substitution guide on the internet, and since I didn't have extra large eggs, I used 5 eggs. I also baked my cake in a bundt cake pan, and after 30 minutes placed a piece of foil over the top, and baked another 10-12 minutes. I stuck a toothpick in the center to see if it was done. Perfect. My family really enjoyed this cake and I thought it was so easy to make. Thank you Ms. Garten.

This isn't a fancy cake with lots of extracts, spices, icings, etc. yet it is SO moist and tasty. Next time I might make a glaze or serve it with berries and cream, but it is great as is. II agree with the previous reviewer - I split the recipe in half and had to cover it with foil about 30 minutes into the baking because it was really brown on top but not quite done in the middle. I left it in for another 15-20 minutes and it was perfect. Definitely a winner - simple enough for every day, yet elegant and delicious enough for a party. Another reason why I love Ina (as if I needed another!!

I split the recipe in half and just made one loaf, and it started to get very crispy around 35 minutes, so watch the time. Mine was a little bit dry, but that could be because I used skim milk since that's all I had on hand. I also used less sugar, but it was still sweet enough for me! Very easy to make and pretty good, but I think I'll stick with my Nana's recipe :
