Did a search for a cake without butter since I did not have any this recipe came up. Well I have to say with Butter Crisco this is the best pound cake that i have ever made and very simple to do!! Has a chewy crust not hard. I did use canned milk with a tsp of vinegar in it for the milk part! Just love it!! I really recommend using this especially if you like simple and quick. It did take mine to cook longer that suggested on recipe mine was 1 1/2 @ 350°F. Thanks for the great recipe!!

LOVE LOVE the tip about cocoa - really helps my over analytical crutch (lol). However though for good results.. BEFORE adding 6 tbsp. cocoa please REMOVE 6 tbsp. of plain flour.
