  1. Absolutely delicious! I made this after reading a post in Q&A about a pound cake cupcake recipe. I couldn't find a recipe for them here so I chose this recipe & adapted the cooking time for cupcakes (about 32 minutes to bake & the recipe made 24). The cakes themselves are so moist & flavorful. My family just went crazy for them! They won't have a domed top like we expect from a normal cupcake, but we usually turn pound cake over to serve anyway. I think these would be great served upside down & glazed or decorated with berries as individual plated deserts. I'll most definitely be making this one again in the traditional bundt pan. I did omit the pecans (as I didn't have enough on hand) but we really didn't miss them. Thanks for posting this recipe, Cheryl! UPDATE: Made this again this morning so I could try out another frosting recipe (recipe #278515) for a game of photo tag. This time I used my dark, non-stick springform bundt pan & should have cooked it a little less than I did but I just trimmed a bit off the top & frosted it. The inside was still moist & soft. Again, my family raved over the flavor. :)
     
  2. I made this recipe for Easter for the first time and it wa a big hit. The family loved it and were fighting over who was going to take the rest home. I will definetley keep this one.
