    I literally just made this. I loved it. It was moist, I did add a couple more tablespoons of cocoa, but other than that delicious.

    I added 3 more Tab. of cocoa, per the suggestions of adding more in the reviews. I cooked mine for 1 hour and 5 min. Turned out great! It was moist. I make a boiled fudge frosting to ice it with.**** Make sure you use a 10 inch, (not 10 cup bundt pan. Mine rose about 1/2 inch over the top of the pan.

    Ok, before I made this I read all reviews and took them into consideration. Here is what I did to make it the best pound cake I've ever made. I used cake flour instead of the all purpose flour. I used Soy Milk Vanilla instead of buttermilk (because I was out. I beat each egg in throughly, and then slowly added the dry ingredients and milk. Since my Mother told me years ago that pound cake needed to be started in a cold over I did not preheat the oven. I cooked it at 325 degrees for one (1 hour then lowered the temp to 300 for 30 minutes. When I took it out of the oven and cooled for 5 minutes and then took out of the pan and placed on my cake plate and covered it immediately inserting a knife under the cover and let it cool completely. This was a great cake and I definately will be making it again and again.
