Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly Southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped - once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes.

this is the first time I have ever rated a recipe. I made this and it was super easy, moist and my family loved it, it was a beautiful cake....Hubby took a piece to work and now I have a request to make one for his co-worker. thanks for sharing.

I was so excited about this and even followed the recipe to a "T", which I never do. It was terrible. More like bread than a pound cake and not even close to sweet enough.

This was pretty good. It was easy to make, but I was expecting a moister, tastier poundcake based on the other reviews. It's a good, solid recipe, but I might keep searching for another pound cake recipe.

Easy to make and tastes great! Moist and tender. It's good plain or with fruit on top of each slice as it is served.

Just a word to the wise: despite what their ads say, Splenda is NOT a substitute for sugar in baking which requires sugar for structure, such as a pound cake. That said, this cake is excellent - very moist and delicious.

I don't know if I would make this again used splenda instead of regular sugar and was too sweet didn't raise high enough, but the pan could of been larger , tooth pick came out clean but didn't seem like it was cooked enough inside, texture inside was like on the spongey side or so creamy it didn't seem like it was cooked .

This is a delicious cake. I served it with strawberry rhubard sauce and ice cream. I only wish it was good for the body and not just good for the mouth :D
