This is really the best pound cake I've ever baked or tested. I have been baking this cake for over a year now for special family and friends events. Someone always asks me if I am making "the pound cake". They love it! Really worth the effort and expense.

Made a mistake and baked this cake at 225°F for 1 hour and 40 minutes. I thought I had ruined the cake so I gave it to some friends of mine. They called me and said it was the bomb! A crust had developed around the top. It was moist. I use 2 sticks of butter and 1/2 cup of Crisco in all my pound cakes. This is a delicious pound cake.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and it was delish! It was the right consistency and tasted great! However, you really had to have a glass of milk or coffee to drink with it. Does anyone know how to make it a little more moist? I went right by directions; however, I only had 4 out of the 6 flavorings it called for. Is Crisco necessary - could I just add more butter? Thank you

Less flour, Crisco is necessary and blend it a little longer.
