This is the best pound cake recipe I have come across in all the many years I have been baking. Easy to make and oh so good.
Sorry Daphne but this was a waste of some expensive ingredients. I followed the recipe to a T. Baked it at 350 for 50 minutes. Took it out to cool for 10 minutes. It was totally uncooked in the middle and getting dark on the edges. I put it back in the oven and even after 20 minutes it was still very undercooked in the middle. I was really looking forward to eating this pound cake but it ended up in the garbage.
Love love love it!! It’s a great recipe!! Not too sweet, it’s perfect for dessert or just with a cup of coffee!! Congrats to Daphne, love the new show!
