Paula's Wedding Cake
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is included as a bonus recipe in Paula's Kitchen Classics cookbook, she has a chapter with a collection of... recipes served at her recent wedding. I was a little reluctant of the orange extract at first because of how it might taste with the almond extract and sour cream, but this pound cake is outstanding! Very dense, moist, and flavorful with a slight hint of orange and very appropriate as a wedding cake. The recipe in her cookbook includes a to-die-for creamy homemade almond icing that really works well with this cake (and probably any other cake - this icing is THAT good!). I'm not sure why this website omitted the almond icing recipe. Thanks Paula!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I first made this recipe for my dad's birthday. It was such a hit that I now have to make it for every family get together. I... must say that this recipe is now my favorite pound cake recipe. It's easy to make, and if you follow it to a "T", you'll have the perfect pound cake too. I like to change up the extracts and make different combinations. Try using lemon instead of the almond extract, and you'll have a refreshing treat!Read more

This cake was delicious. I haven't used almond extract in a cake before so I was a little reluctant, however the cake turned... out great.Read more
