I modified this a bit. Skip the lemon flavoring. Add 2/3 cup raisins, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of instant espresso.

I love this cake! It tastes amazing by itself, as well as with strawberries and whipped cream. It turned out great, but I did make a few alterations. I skipped the lemon, and adjusted the vanilla & almond to make up for it. I also found that creaming the sugar and butter until its really fluffy, then slowly adding in the eggs and other ingredients makes this cake a lot fluffier and less dense than just mixing it together at once.

I mixed the dry ingredients and then dumped in the wet. It was still nice and light.

This cake was so so easy to make. It came out very nice and delicious! My mother who is a veteran cook was surprised with this cake. Thank you for this recipe.

I love baking but am by no means a professional which is why I look on the internet for easy, simple recipes. At first I wasn't sure about this one b/c of just how simple it was compared to other pound cake recipes with long ingredient lists. This, however, is delicious and perfect! It proves simple is better. It is very moist and has a good consistency. I also changed a couple things- I left out the vanilla & almond while just putting 3 teaspoons of lemon flavoring. I then added lemon zest and lemon juice from 1 whole lemon. I topped the "lemon" pound cake with cream cheese icing. Yummy!

Great recipe. I added a cup of sour cream and it made it wonderful. Sour cream does not seem like the thing to add to a cake but it gives it a great twist. Moister also.

If you like easy well this is it. Great with ice cream

I was looking all over town for a butter pound cake to buy for my sweetheart's birthday. Coming from Texas, she's finicky about great, authentic tasting pound cake. It's so nice to have that light bulb idea and head to Cooks.com. Every recipe with the help of the added comments has always made for an excellent foodie experience. My point? This pound cake was so easy and so tasty. Thank you Lola for the creaming of the butter and sugar idea. Magnifique! Fast, tasty and amazing pound cake!

This is one of the most basic recipe for pound cake, the easiest and one of the best one's out there. I do recommend adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder for better baking. And make sure that the butter and eggs are room temperature. You can also experiment adding sour cream (1 cup) cream cheese (1 8 oz. pack) buttermilk (1 cup) lemon zest vanilla extract or almond extract for different flavor and texture. Great texture moisture and flavor pound cake with this recipe. ; )

I'm a single male that loves a good pound cake but I had rely on other folks to prepare them for me. NOT ANYMORE! This recipe is the BOMB BABY! I cooked my first picture cake today and it was so good. Thanks for sharing this one!

I halved the recipe, for the most part, to 1 c. flour, 1 c. sugar, 1 stick butter, 2 teaspoons of extract each, 3 eggs. I realize now I misread the original recipe's calling for 1 teaspoon as being 1 tablespoon-- whoops! Still, turned out delicious! Good for when you want something quick and delicious with just the bare essentials.

I have made this pound cake 3 times now and each time everyone has gone "GAGA" over it.

Great and easy cake. I left out the lemon and almond extract and used 1 tsp vanilla and 2 tsp rum extract. I cooked sugar and rum extract for a glaze on the cake while it was still warm.

This is my 3rd or 4th time using this recipe, my family didn't believe me when I told them it was not my other long version recipe. They love it, and most of all I don't have spend all the extra time on it. Thanks....

I was a little hesitant to make this recipe because it seemed so simple. I felt like it wouldn't turn out good however it turned out AWESOME! Extremely easy...

Awesome cake. I was very surprised by the lack of ingredients used. It's amazing! It was moist and I decided to not use the lemon because I'm not a big fan of it. I added a little more sugar because I prefer my cake to be a little on the sweeter side. Would definitely recommend this cake!
