Million-Dollar Pound Cake
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour 40 min. + cooling

We've always included pound cake on our family menus. Through the years I've tried many recipes, and I can honestly say this million-dollar pound cake is the best! It has a very fine, rich texture that makes it unusually smooth. That texture, plus fantastic flavor, makes this pound cake a special treat each time we serve it. —George Dunn, Jasper, Texas
