It's a little hard to know how to rate this one.... We topped with rhubarb sauce and whipped cream, which was very nice all together. I made half the recipe and baked it in a 9x5 loaf pan. I ended up baking it for 1.5 hours and it finally baked through. The top never turned golden and was fairly dry - and the middle was quite dense. I followed the instructions as indicated although I used lemon extract instead of vanilla and added 2T of poppyseeds. I used Splenda blend as described in the directions (although ingredients note plain Splenda). This was my first time making a pound cake so maybe I goofed something. Even so, both my DH and DS woke up and had a piece for breakfast this morning; I also had a bite and felt that it tasted better (less dry) today than it did last night when I made it.

Did not work for me. I did not follow the directions to the tea because I am a professional baker and I thought I knew what I was doing and perhaps that's why I ended up with a weapon of mass destruction instead of a cake. I will not be using this one again.

What a wonderful recipe! Very little aftertaste. Tasted so darn close to the real thing that my husband has already put in an order for another this weekend! Great with vanilla ice cream!!

Thank you for posting a truly SUGAR-FREE, yet tasty cake. My father is diabetic and made this for him with chocolate "frosting" also found on Zaar. (Absolutely Sugar Free Frosting; Aboslutely Sugar Free Frosting). The two together taste AWESOME!

I may have done something wrong...but my cake came out very "heavy" and dry as heck...nice top crust but very "gluey" on the inside.
I used regular sifted flour and Splenda ( regular - not the Splenda Blend for baking ) so I wonder if this was why my cake came out the way it did ?

this was delicious even though i did use all purpose flour, i didn't have cake flour at the last minute. you'd never know this was sugar free, and it had a wonderful buttery taste. baked up perfectly and looks lovely, a definite keeper.
