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!

this is the perfect pound cake...easy to make...difficult to stop eating...i added a few moments to the baking time to give a little more golden coloring. This is a cake i would make when i want to impress...you gotta try it!

I was looking for an easy pound cake recipe after finding a more labor/ingredient intensive recipe in "The Joy of Cooking". After reading the reviews, I had to try it! I halved the ingredients simply b/c I only have one loaf pan. It turned out PERFECTLY! This is an incredible poundcake recipe. The texture is perfect - dense, but not heavy. Almost velvety. Some reviewers found it too sweet, but I didn't think that it was too sweet at all. I actually doubled up on the vanilla, but I may try lemon next time instead, just as a variation. I didn't time it, but I would say cooking time is definitely between 1.5-2 hours. Make sure to butter and flour the pan, and when it's finished, allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, or until it pulls away from the sides. Then the cake will fall right out of the pan without sticking. I will probably use this recipe for the rest of my life - so easy and sooooooooo good. Thanks, Jeff!

I was going to make a couple of these pound cakes to take to a July 4th pool party, along with cool whip, strawberries and blueberries, to stay with the patriotic theme, when I realized I have never reviewed it. This is a quick and easy cake to make that results in a wonderfully delicious and moist pound cake. Eat it alone or with your favorite toppings. It's good however you fix it! This is obviously a keeper in my house since I've obviously already made it in the past. Gotta go preheat the oven and start baking.....

This pound cake tasted great, my family and I really enjoyed it. I followed the directions exactly as written, however it was not cooked all the way. I didn't realize this until I had already sliced it up. There was an area about the size of a half dollar that was still doughy. We just pulled this part off and ate the rest and it was delicious. I will try this again and bake it another 15 minutes. Thank's for sharing!

This cake was great. I made it for a birthday at work. Everyone loved it. I served it lightly dusted with powdered sugar. It was dense, but not heavy and moist. The cream cheese gave it a great flavor, but it did not taste "cream cheesey". It did take longer to bake than stated, but could definitly be my oven. I just used the toothpick test.

You are so right, we didn't want to come up for air. This is an awesome cheese pound cake and my guests devoured it. I was VERY lucky to get a taste. It's very easy to put together. This will be making a repeat performance. Thanks so much, Jeff Hixson. (Another winner).
