Philip Mora
This Cake was so delicious, my family and friends loved this cake so much. Now I have to make several cakes this weekend coming. Everyone that tasted it, gave me a 10 rating
Alicia Turner
made this years ago and lost the recipe. Never had leftovers or stale cake!

This is probably my new favorite cake. I might need a bigger bundt pan to make it in, or just make it as a couple of loaf cakes because every time I make it, it puffs up quite a bit over the top of the pan and I have to break off the edges to get it out! I’m not sure if there is something wrong with my oven or if it simply needs a higher temperature but the last time I made it(just last week) it took an additional 30 minutes in the oven before a knife inserted in the cake would come out clean. Next time I make it I’ll try it on 350 instead. Overall 5 stars, it’s truly a wonderful cake, a very good balance between dense and fluffy, and doesn’t even need a glaze or frosting. I made it with two sticks of unsalted butter and one stick of salted and that bit of salt from the butter was a great addition. If I make it for the holidays I might get a little adventurous and add some pumpkin pie spice! I may also try it with dark brown sugar next time, just to see what happens.

This is one of the Best pound cake! I added a pinch of salt. It turned out delicious! My family & friends loves this cake! I have orders to make three more.
Theresa Wright
My daughter and I made this cake for Thanksgiving 2021 and it was fantastic! For best results remember to let your butter and eggs come up to room temp and weigh your flour and brown sugar.
Jennifer Leon
This is a prize winning recipe in my opinion. Used 1 cup dark brown sugar. I made it into a 3 layer cake, frosting it with a Browned Butter frosting. Everyone thought it was the best cake they’d ever eaten.
Michael Mann
I followed the recipe exactly and used the other reviewer’s recipe for the caramel frosting. I like the extra kick of sweetness the frosting adds.
Andrea Lucas
I made this today (for Mother’s Day) and my mom gave it 5/5. I made a nut-free version for myself and it was also delicious. The only change I made for the recipe is the addition of cinnamon and I had zero issues with this being an extraordinarily soft, flavorful bundt.
Kimberly Thompson
The cake is perfect!
Jorge Cunningham
it reminded me of a cake my great-grandmother used to make back in the days
Stephanie Terry
The only change was I didn’t add any pecans. Because we didn’t have any. We had walnuts And I wasn’t sure about adding them. I also added homemade carmel icing. I’m glad I made it. It’s absolutely delicious. We are having it with vanilla ice cream.
Donna Brewer
I subbed milk for sour cream and added a 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I also creamed the brown sugar with the butter and folded an extra tbsp of vanilla into the Mix after the flour. It was yummy!
Pamela Bruce
This recipe is wonderful. I paired it with Butter Pecan Ice Cream and it vanished. Thanks for this beautiful cake. I’m sure to be making it many more times.
Lisa Bennett
This recipe was amazing and I made it today for my family, I added caramel sauce over the top of my cake.
Nichole Haynes
Absolutely delicious. Next time may try reducing butter to 1 cup and adding 1/2 c applesauce, (just to cut down on so much butter). I’m sure it won’t be as rich, but maybe we won’t notice it too much.
Maria Wade
Mine came out pretty dry, however it still tasted really good
Christine Acosta
Yummy! I doubled the pecans and vanilla extract. The best pound cake I’ve ever made. No frosting was needed.
Michael Jacobson
I’ve made this a couple of times for my family and also for a graduation party (I’m a professor at a small college and we have an annual party for graduating seniors in the department). I omitted the nuts, but otherwise followed the recipe. Rave reviews from all, but the best comment came from a student who suggested we serve the cake in our intro classes to recruit majors with the promise of getting it again when they graduated. Senior grades were in and I didn’t even have him in a class that semester, so it wasn’t just brown nosing.
Ryan Garrett
I followed the directions exactly and the cake came out beautifully. It has a lovely dense texture and was extremely moist. Decreasing the sugar will affect moisture and density. The crust had that wonderful crunch that a pound cake should. I used high quality ingredients. If you got a poor result that may be a consideration. This is definitely one of the best cakes I’ve made.
Morgan Lewis
Nice, moist pound cake. Replaced the white sugar with Truvia Sugar Blend!
Andrea West
I made this cake and my family absolutely loved it. I incorporated a few variations of my own which I would recommend. I added 1/2 tsp salt as recommended by others and instead of the pecans I used Heath English Toffee chips in the batter. This recipe makes a large pound cake and it was very moist. I made a caramel icing using a recipe from another reviewer, but the cake would be just as good without the additional frosting.
