I looved this recipe. I made a change with the cake flavor, I substitued creme bouquet for vanilla flavor. It was a wonderful flavor.
Tried this recipe and then had to make it for everyone over the holidays. They all loved it as much as I did.
It’s a hit everytime I make it
Without words, delicious!!!!!
Very simple and delicious
This is a very good pound cake. It has a beautiful, pale golden interior with a caramel-colored crust. The cake slices were perfect, both in thick slices and thin ones. It is dense with a fine crumb and good flavor. I opted to fold in a cup of fresh blueberries, instead of using the pecans on top, and I wished for more berries! Since I was using it as a coffee cake, I found it sweet enough without the glaze. If I do make it with pecans, next time, I will add some cinnamon to the batter. Thanks for a great recipe! 75 minutes was spot on, for me.
Too sweet and the batter doesn’t fit in one Bundt pan. My oven was a mess after baking the cake.
Left out the pecans. Making for a family friend. I believe they will eat it up. Follow the recipe almost entirely. Changes were less sugar-2 cups +2 tbs, and added some flavorings besides vanilla.
baked it for over 90 min and still not done too 300 deg oven
This was delicious! I made the recipe as written and wouldn’t change anything. Mine took just under 90 minutes in the oven. The whole family enjoyed it!
This was moist and had a wonderful texture but was a smidgeon on the bland side for us, but was still very good.
Followed this recipe exactly as it was and this cake turned out to be so good!! I’m not sure why some are saying that its too sweet and they had to alter the recipe, but it turned out great and tasted even greater! The only thing that was off was the time it took to cook. We ended up cooking it for about 2 and a half hours on 300 degrees. Maybe next time we will cook it on 325 or 350 degrees. Overall, great recipe!!!
This cake is so good. My husband loved it. I used all purpose flour instead of cake flour,turned out great. My husband put cling peaches over it and said it was fantastic. I did not add the pecans thought it would take away from the cake and natural flavor the pound cake should be. I also baked this in two bread pans at 300 degrees for an hour and a half. Perfect!
The best pound cake I have ever made. It is a moist cake. I love pecans so the next time I will add pecans to the batter. For the person who said the cake was dry, you must have not followed the instructions because it is by far a dry cake.
My family loves this cake just as it is, I wouldn’t make any changes. This is my third cake since Thanksgiving and I will be baking it again
New family favorite!
My very first attempt at a homemade pound cake. I had some very helpful taste testers and had great responses. I will definitely make this again!!
excellent! I will make it again
Better than expected. Moist delicious cake
