I made this in 2 large loaf tins and they were cooked in an hour,the almond flavouring is perfect, the texture smooth, the cake moist, a real keeper.

This was an excellent pound cake. So easy to make. I reduced the the sugar a bit and used vanilla (didn't have almond extract). Delicious. Thanks, this will be a regular recipe in our house.

I was disappointed in the flavor. But maybe that's just me. It's been years since I've had pound cake. My grandma always had some in the mornings at her house, and I think she just had the Sara Lee kind. I was thinking that homemade would be even better, but it just wasn't. It was easy to do, though, and the texture was dense and moist as it should have been, so if you like the flavor, then this recipe would be fine for you. I was so excited to have a piece right out of the oven, but that really wasn't good. I kept it in the fridge and it was best eaten when it came to room temperature. I will not try this recipe again, but I may try a recipe using vanilla instead of almond flavor, and see if that's better. Some of these directions were kind of vague, so I took tips from a different recipe. I used a bundt cake pan, which was the perfect size for this amount, I greased the pan, and it took 1 hour and 35 minutes in my oven. The one thing I really did like was the crunchy layer on crown of the bundt cake.
