This is the perfect pound cake recipe...plus so easy to prepare and only one bowl to wash! This is a firm cake, so if you are into cutting and shaping cakes, this works well. I have used it for christening and communion cakes, creating crosses, etc and used buttercream frosting. I have also made it in a 9 x 13 cake pan...just adjust time accordingly. The addition of the yogurt really makes a difference in the taste.

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

I made this cake for my son's first birthday, shaped like a little stuffed horse (his favorite). It was very easy to make, and I put it into 2 loaf pans. I can see why people say it's not as dense as a regular pound cake - it seemed to me like a pound cake/white cake hybrid. I got an almost unnoticeable flour taste in mine, which could mean I used too much flour or needed to use cake flour. I also used orange zest instead of lemon, vanilla yogurt, and a little bit of almond extract along with the vanilla extract. YUM! Definitely going to make this one again!

This cake is very tasty and easy to make,but I agree with Lola #3 that it is not as dense as pound cake usually is.Any recommendations?

Delicious pound cake! I made this with the intention of using it as a base for other desserts calling for sliced pound cake, but this can stand on its own witha bit of powdered sugar dusted on top. I had no problems preparing this cake. It makes a large cake and is very versatile - you can vary the flavor slightly by using a different flavor of yogurt. I used vanilla this time. It is easy to prepare and turned out great. It is dense yet tastes light. Thanks!

I made this cake for my grandsons first birthday...it was the base for a Finding Nemo Aquarium cake, with all the fish and extras. The cake tastes delicious, was easy to make, hoever, mine was brown like spice cake. Noone can tell me why, but IM making it again, to see how this one turns out
