Small Pound Cake
"Great for anyone who feels the 10 inch pound cake is too much for them!! Some years ago a friend gave me a 9 inch tube cake pan as a gift along with this recipe. This recipe would also be perfect for the smaller bundt cake pan."

"Mix dry ingredients alternately with milk and add vanilla. (Lightly fold in dry ingredients--do not beat.)". This is very confusing to me. Sounds like you are saying to mix the flour, milk and vanilla together and then add to the butter/sugar. Then you say fold in the dry ingredients. I ended up alternating the flour mixture and the milk into the butter/sugar mixture. But you said fold it in and do not beat. Never baked a pound cake that you didn't beat. PLEASE CLARIFY.

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site.
