This recipe has not been tested it needs a liquid of some kind!!!! Way to thick!! Came out hard!!!

It's delicious and easy to make! Just a quick note..It took me longer than 1hr to bake this though but otherwise I highly recommend it!

This is one of my favourite recipes for pound cake. Just make sure that you don't overmix, otherwise the center will be very dense. Simply lovely and I highly recommend it!

I just made the cake. It smells delicious and i can't wait to taste it. Although it doesn't look fabulous it has a huge crack down the middle. How can I prevent this next time?

Could I add pumpkin puree and spices to this to make it a pumpkin pound cake? What other ingredients do I need to adjust to do that? Thanks!

This is my favourite pound cake recipe. I plan to use it for my wedding cake this summer.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out rather bland. It turned out more like a slightly sweetened bread rather than a traditional pound cake. Perhaps it needs more sugar or more vanilla... in any case, as my brother puts it, it was just "missing something."

I add sweetened coconut flakes, about a teaspoon of chocolate powder, and milk chocolate chips to this. My boyfriend thinks it's the most delicious thing, and I have to agree!

If you look up the Classic PC recipe, this is basically that recipe halved, w/ extra vanilla (why it's the Vanilla PC recipe). The measurements are slightly different for the flour and eggs. One direction that recipe states implicitly is to cream the butter sugar 8 minutes. If you do it until they are just combined, probably won't turn out right. Look up that recipe and follow those directions with this recipe and it will probably come out just right.

This was a very easy recipe. After reading the comments below, I added a box of vanilla instant pudding to the mix (which I have been told makes things extra moist). The cake was dense (as expected), but very good. It's a pound cake - it's supposed to be heavy and thick. Everyone really enjoyed it. And it only took me 10 minutes to prepare - you can't beat that! (FYI, it did take more than an hour to bake, and I definitely had to use the foil on top to prevent burning.)

I tried this recipe this afternoon and it was delicious. Yes, it is dense, but pound cake is supposed to be dense. It was not dry at all. After all, how could something with 2 sticks of butter and 4 eggs be dry! There is no leavening agent, so make sure that you follow the directions and beat the ingredients enough - but don't overmix when you add the flour. My kids and I loved this cake!

I just made this pond cake and it was really very heavy and dry we could not eat it.

I made the vanilla poundcake recently. It was so heavy that I could have used it for a doorstop!..Does this poundcake require a leavening agent? Martha, my vanilla poundcake looked nothing like yours...yikes!
