    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.

    This recipe is SO good! I used all butter instead of the shortening, and it was very moist and had great flavor. I also used two loaf pans instead of the bundt pan. It may have been my oven, but it took alot longer to bake, about 1.5 hours. Will definitely make again soon!

    So moist and delicious! I made it for an anniversary party using a round 16" x 3" cake pan.
    I tripled the recipe (and wound up with too much for the pan- next time I will only double the recipe. I did a test run of the recipe the day before and did not read the directions as carefully as I should have and thought that it said 1 1/2 hours baking time ----not 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The first try was burned to a dark black. So I recommend a baking time of 1 hour only.
    Served it with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. so good!

    Perfect! Nice crispy thick sweet sugary crust...this is the 2nd time I've made this...first time traditional, second time used lemon extract instead of vanilla...topped it with powdered sugar whipped cream and a little lemon zest....perfect party cake! Thank you Paula!

    I have tried to make many poundcakes and failed. This one is failproof and delicious. Not too dense, moist and beautiful. My family couldn't believe I made a pound cake that did not flop. Made it for my husband on our 33 anniversary. He said best present ever.

    I tried this recipe for the first time & it was awesome. I really enjoyed the flavor & texture of the cake. I gave the cake to my book club members, family & friends they were impressed. I cooked a little longer to get that crust just right & that's what people kept complimenting about the most. I definitely recommend this to anyone trying to make a pound cake for the first time. It is easy & very quick to make!

    I just made this today and it's fantastic! I used 4 sticks of butter and left out the shortening. I used my pampered chef brownie pan to make individual cakes. I was able to make about 40. It's perfect!

    I can't stop eating this cake!! It's absolutely perfect. It was my first time making it, so I changed nothing and it is insanely delicious. Better than any pound cake I've ever had. Make this cake ASAP!
