Superb pound cake and yet so easy!! I used 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening. I also used some double strength vanilla. It came out so moist and full of flavor! Thank you for posting. Made this for the Cake-A-Thon in memorial for Chef-I-Am. 6/30/09 Made again and used 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1 cup unbleached flour and again doubled the vanilla. It was great!

Yum!!!!! This pound cake was so easy and moist. I love it! My husband told me that his grandmother (who is the worlds best baker) would be proud. The only thing I did differently was add 1/2 tsp. extra vanilla and stir the flour in by hand as to not add too much air. I think it makes a big difference when making pound cake. Make this...you won't be disappoited!

Awsome recipe!!! Incredible pound cake that my whole family loved. Served it at Christmas after baking it in a tube pan. I then sliced it in half horizontally and iced it with a lime cream cheese frosting (instead of a typical lemon cc frosting). My father who loves food (and never gains a pound like myself) said it was the best tasting dessert there not to mention the best pound cake he's ever had. First pound cake that didn't give me heartburn Way to go Jeff!!! Your daughter made a wonderful discovery!
