"This recipe was given to me by my friend, Kelly. She is famous for this cake. She suggests using a tube pan which has a bottom that lifts out which makes it easier to get the cake out of the pan."

  1. I tried this cake last weekend and it didn't work. It never set up during baking. I am an experienced baker and followed the recipe to the letter. I have never made a pound cake with 1 cup of milk or any other liquid in it. Maybe that ingredient is incorrect. I was very disappointed.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
