I have been using this recipe for over 10 years. The best poundcake recipe and I have made many cakes in my lifetime. Always moist comes out perfect!

DH gave this 15 stars on his first mouthful! It came out more fluffy than I had expected for a pound cake but it sure was a hit in this house. Made as directed but in a half amount. It's certainly easy to put together and my 1/2 amount was ready in 1 hr. Thanks for this one Mary, made for Photo Tag.
