I made mine exactly as the recipe. Mine never cooked all the way through, and after 50 minutes, I tried cooking in 5 minute increments. It still never set up and half was raw, the other half was hard as a rock.

dear mr hogg,

this is the absolute best pound cake  i've ever tried.  it's moistness endures for several days and each day it tastes like it was just made. thankyou for introducing me to the best

agree also, 90 minutes and my oven runs very hot, usually I'm reducing time from TOH recipes by 10%. I cooked in a dark, bundt pan. Very good. I love the slightly crusty crust.

I agree with the others - you need to bake this about 90 minutes at the 325 and then it is done! Every slice is wonderful - my family really enjoyed it and they will get to enjoy it again for the 4th, with fresh strawberries! yum!

I love this recipe!  This cake is absolutely yummy!   I have made it several times and always come out with a very crisp, dark crusted cake - almost looks burned.   I bake in a 325 degree oven for 80 - 90 minutes anything less and the cake is not done.  I prepare the pan as outlined in the recipe.  Is there a way to prevent the very dark, crispy crust on the cake.  I always feel like I'm serving something just on the edge of burning.

This was delicious. Had an issue with the timing as well from the original recipe, but kept baking it until it was done. Yummy!!

This cake was amazing...we were sad to see it finished, (My hubby was sneaking slices)it was flavourful & moist, and one I'll definitely have to add to our faves list!

This is a great recipe, but I found out the hard way about the baking time. I wondered about the baking time as pound cakes usually take longer. But I did not want it to be overbaked either. After 20 minutes extra time in the oven, I thought it should be done - the toothpick seemed clean.

I should have baked it longer as it was definitely not baked thoroughly. It was edible, but not a cake that I would serve to company.

I'm glad I checked the recipe again on your website.

Thanks for a great magazine.

I am going to try it again with the corrected baking time.
