Not a traditional pound cake. It was a delicious cake, but I could tell I had too much batter for a traditional tube pan. I used about 3/4 of the batter in my pan and it came out moist and golden brown after about 75 minutes. Next time I will probably reduce the amount of sugar.

Fabulous! I made the recipe as is except for one thing. Instead of using regular vanilla extract, I used vanilla butternut from King Arthur Flour - check their website, I can't post the link here, not allowed. I did cook the cake for the full 1 1/2 hours and the outside had a nice crusty "shell" on it, while the inside was moist and delicious! Ate it as is, used it as a base for strawberry shortcake, and used it for individual triffles with pudding and whipped cream. A definite keeper recipe.

Very tasty and easy pound cake to make... I did not find it too sweet. I did add a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract in addition to the vanilla. Came out great! Thanks, Paula!

Have made this for years and the best recipe out there for pound cake but something went wrong today when I made this and cake spilled out into my oven through the tube pan. Also, the cake did not rise as it has in past. Made it to the letter by recipe. Can anyone tell me about this and the remedy.

So I made a few alterations... I used buttermilk instead of regular milk. I also added a half a teaspoon of vanilla and a half a teaspoon of almond extract... And then I added some chocolate chips. Because I do not have a Bundt-type cake pan... I used a regular loaf pan... This was not the best choice. The pan was completely filled and the cake took about 1.75 hours to cook. However, it did come out fantastic. It was moist and thick. I did cover the top half way through, to prevent the top from over-browning. Was my difference in cook time primarily because of the different choice of pan?

As a professional cake maker/decorator, when you follow the recipe, this comes out as the perfect pound cake! This one is definitely a hit with friends and family. It is absolutely delicious! I cut down the sugar by 1/2 cup.

I made this recipe and followed the instructions to the letter. This is certainly not a good pound cake recipe, nor does it even resemble a pound cake when done. It comes out like a regualr cake...not a pound cake. It tasted ok, but not great....really cannot believe how many people gave this 5 stars!!! I wish I had not wasted my ingredients / time on this.

Amazing recipe! I was a little skeptical at first but the cake turned out amazing, I did replace the vegetable shortening with butter and didnt use as much sugar as on the original recipe and the end result was perfect. I even split my batter in two and added melted chocolate to make it a marble cake, YUM

Yuck. This recipe is a waste of ingredients. It isn't really pound cake - it's just overly sweet yellow cake. Not good.
