Because I'm our town's postmaster, I can bake only in my spare time. When I do, I especially like making breads and desserts. I'm one of six children, and I learned to cook young! This recipe came from my aunt in Alabama. I've used it in all sorts of different ways over the years—as strawberry shortcake...tucked under ice cream and chocolate syrup like a hot fudge sundae...or like pound cake with powdered sugar.

Overall it was really good, moist and sweet-ish. I put brown sugar in the bottom of the pan over the PAM spray and it still stuck a little, I had to separate it with a knife some. And for me it was done 30 mins early, I would recommend checking on it every 20-30 mins. Overall good though. :)

The first time I made this recipe I added a cup of fresh blueberries and it was great. The second time I added half cup of fresh brewed coffee and orange flavoring instead of vanilla and turned out fine. Great "springboard" recipe to build on. Loved it!

This recipe definitely a keeper. It's easy to make, taste delicious, and uses ingredients that I always have on hand. It's also easy to cut the recipe in half, which I did, and then baked it in a bread loaf pan for 1 hour.

Excellent recipe! To add a bit of a twist to is before flouring the tube pan I coated it with PAM, then sugar, then flour and it made a delicious sugar coat on the outside of the cake. I had no problems getting the cake out of the pan after it sat for 15 minutes to cool.

Fabulous cake recipe! I am marking this as best pound cake ever!!! Can't wait to make it again and serve with strawberries and whip cream!

The first time I made this I took it to a church function. I ended up making it, by request, for 4 other events that month! This is now my go to recipe for a cake. The cake is very moist and tender and makes a beautiful presentation. The recipe is easy to follow and comes together in just a few minutes. I follow the recipe as written, but I start checking for doneness at 1 hour. I've found that if I'm cooking it in a tube pan (vs bundt) it cooks a little quicker.
