I used this recipe for a 6 cup cake mold that had some very intricate details. I noticed that it had a fairly high amount of liquid in it compard to most pound cakes and I was hoping that it would pour. It did perfectly. As an added bonus, the dairy component made the cake brown quicly and perfectly, aiding in an EASY release from it's pan. The finished product was dense, but not overly so, and retained a buttery taste even though it contains about half as much as similar recipes. You have a real winner here! THANKS NEZZ

Excellent pound cake with moist, dense crumb. I served it with fresh strawberries, but this cake is so versatile it could be served with just about anything. It can even stand on it's own with that morning cup of coffee. A definite keeper!

Obviously in my last review, I had too much rum to spell correctly. It is WONDERFUL, not wonderfl. Do try this with sour cream in lieu of the milk. It is divine. Also, make sure to sift the flour before you mix. It makes all the difference.

Excellent pound cake, Nezz! Dan and I enjoyed every bite of this wonderfully rich and delicious cake. I served it with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream which proved to be an excellent compliment to this delightful pound cake. Next time I make it, I might serve it with lemon curd and whipped cream. I can see an endless variety of ways to serve this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Nezz!

This recipe was excellent!! The texture of the cake was somewhat dense as a pound cake should be and it had a light buttery flavor. I used it to make a cherry trifle by layering the cake with vanilla pudding, cherry pie filling, and cool whip. Made a great light dessert and I froze the leftover cake for future use. Definitely a keeper recipe.!!!

Rich, dense, moist, yet not heavy. All those who tried this pound cake said "wow" and gave it five stars, including me. A wonderful, easy "keeper" recipe. This is a "little black dress" of cakes: it will go with anything and you can take it anywhere!

This was AMAZING! I loved it and so did everyone else who's tried it. When I was in the middle of making it....I realized I ran out of baking powder, I didn't know what to do...so I substituted 1/2 a tsp of baking soda. (the names are kind of similar) Anyway, it turned out wonderful...it was more cakey and the taste was fabulous. Thanks

This pound cake was perfection. The texture was slightly firm and the rich vanilla flavor was yummy. I made a fresh peach topping and then topped that with real sweetened whipped cream. I can think of so many ways to enjoy it. Thanks MizzNezz.

A great recipe. Turned out wonderfully. The only complaint I have is that it tasted like eggs and I'm not sure I liked that very much! But that might just be my tastes. This is the first time I've made pound cake and I'm happy with the results. Everyone in my family loved it. Thanks for a great recipe.
