I followed this recipe exactly. I was at first concerned about the tolerance on baking, 60 to 90 minutes is quite a big spread. When I poured the batter (which tasted delicious into the pan, I thought it was a little full and I was right. When I baked the cake, it flowed over the pan and into my oven, causing the smoke alarm to go off. It took 1 hour 15 minutes to get a clean toothpick. The cake looked awful until I inverted it onto a plate and then it looked beautiful. But the flavor and texture were terrible. I live at altitude (5000 feet and based on all of the other reviews, I just have to assume this is one of those recipes that does not work at altitude.

EASY! Turned out great. Tastes pretty good, too. I didn't have a bunt pan so I used two loaf pans; one was metal and one was glass. Both turned out wonderful!
For everyone giving it bad reviews....maybe you should stop fudging the recipe! You can't accurately review a recipe you didn't really try!

I saw the high reviews so i decided to make this. I cut the sugar to 2 cups, because 3 cups sounds a bit crazy. I replaced shortening with more butter. I read the reviews before I made this and thought it was fool proof. I used the tube pan Paula used in her video, and it leaked, burning the bottom of my oven. I read one review that said they put it in there for 45 mins and it was perfect, mine was beginning to burn so I took it out at 45 mins. When it cooled, I cut a slice, finding it not to be pound cake. Maybe I'm just use to Sarah Lee's pound cake? This recipe was not for me, I will use a different one.

I used this cake to make my son a dinosaur cake for his 1st birthday and im using it today to make a 3d eagle cake because it is so dense, the flavor is awesome and its moist and holds its shape very well. I would recommend this for any occasion, i added english toffee candy flavoring and it was fantastic, i also topped one with cherry pie filling delicious!!!!

This cake came out amazing with no alterations to the actual recipe! But I did add fresh blackberries to it which was awesome!

It was more of a crumb cake than a pound cake though....

I made this for my dad for Father's Day, and he loved it. The cake was moist and had wonderful flavor. I recommend adding butter on top of a slice and heating it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Delicious!!
