I loved this recipe. Because it called for the sugar amount "divided" and I read other reviewers complain about being too sweet, I cut back the sugar by half. I forgot to pick up the frozen "grocery store pound cake" for a family gathering and decided to whip this one up in a hurry. It was fabulous with fresh fruit and the second cake froze well and was equally good weeks later. Thanks Ina!

this is not a "pound cake".
1/2 pound of butter but one pound of sugar? buttermilk? only 4 eggs? it might be a good cake but please dont call it a pound cake.

It was easy to make. I like it although it is a bit too sweet. I will give it another try - with 1/4 less sugar. It does not have the consistency of a "pound" cake - I was looking for a cake with a more dense nature - putting my expectations aside, it's tasty. I just made the cake today and I think it might need one day or so to rest.

The flavor of the cake was great. However, it was very dry and kind of crumbly...not exactly what I was expecting (heavy, dense, very moist cake. I'm not sure what went wrong. I've reviewed the recipe three times and I followed it exactly. Any ideas?

I made half the recipe. It took a full 45 min to bake and tasted great. My family loves it although I think it's a bit too sweet for me. I am sure if I reduced the sugar by a few tablespoons it would still have tasted great for them.
