    I have tried several of Paula's recipes and they just don't work.
    BUT........... this one is PERFECT!!!!
    It moist and the perfect flavors. I even injected rum into the cake. Wow what a flavor. It's very easy and quick to make. I cooked it for an hour and it was done.

    This cake is so moist and delicious. It is melt in your mouth good. I used 2 1/2 cups of sugar, and I think I could get away with 2 cups. My husband could not get enough of it.

    This is the best pound cake that I have ever had. I am not a pound cake fan whatsoever, but my mom decided to make this one for my brother for his birthday and i am in love! It is super moist, and it gets better and better each day, so you should probably make it in advance. Whomever made the comment about it being terrible was either in-experienced or must have done something wrong, because it was spectacular!

    I've used this on several cakes now. It has great flavor and holds up well under fondant. Bake time for me was 45 minutes max and it was done...so not sure about the hour and a half. Either way...good one!

    I have made this recipie for many years under a different name. When I saw it on your website I noticed your temperature was 350 at 1 hr 30 min, so I gave it a try I pulled cake out ten minutes early due to it was so dark!!...May need to reduce teperature to 325 at 1hr 20 minutes like I used to....Thanks Anyway

    I baked this cake a week ago, and it turned out great. As noted by another commenter, the flavor gets better after a day or so.

    I'm getting ready to make it again, and I noticed that the recipe calls for shortening. I know I didn't add shortening the first time I baked the cake and it came out really good anyway.

    Like I said, "fool" proof :~

    I used Buttermilk and sifted cake flour and the cake came out so nice and fluffy. I also baked it in a 10x15 rectangle pan. Definitely a recipe I will use for many years to come. Thanks Paula!

    I was looking for a new recipe but came across this one...it is identical to one that I used to make for my family called "Carolina Pound Cake" in an old hometown cookbook. In short decided to re-make it and they still love it! This can be dressed up or down in hundreds of ways!

    I made this cake on Christmas Eve and it was wonderful! I did, however, reduce the sugar to 2 cups instead of 3 because I knew that it would be way too sweet. Ultimately, this was a great cake. Thanks for sharing.
