Another Good Pound Cake

Submitted by GrandmaIsCooking

"This cake has a nice texture and a crust that is just crunchy enough. I hope it is not already posted on Recipezaar. I looked at MANY pound cakes and could not find an exact match. Some called for 2 cups of powdered sugar but this one uses a whole pound."

I must say, this cake was great and easy. This was my first cake/pound cake from scratch. THE HOUSE HOLD LOVED IT. The help about the powdered sugar REALLY helped. Thanks for the recipe and thanks to everyone that helped out on the directions!

Wonderful flavoured cake, I love the crunch like crust. I drizzled a yogurt and lemon glaze over top. Thanks for a lovely recipe.

babygal- granulated sugar is about equal to (2 cups : 1 pound), but confectioner's sugar only weighs in at a quarter pound per cup. (4 cups : 1 pound)

I purchased 5lbs. of powered sugar because I am doing a lot of baking these days. Doesn't 2cups equal 1lb. of powered sugar. HELP!
