Ok I have to admit I was so excited to taste this recipe. I am very pregnant with only nine days to go and could not help but make a pound cake. Here is where you get to laugh. I have been baking and cooking since I was nine..I am now 31 and still find it hard to believe that my mind lapses and I make these crazy mistakes. Needless to say as I was making this recipe I ended up grabbing a container of flour. Problem is that I have 3 containers of flour, cake flour, AP flour, and bread flour. As you can imagine to my dismay when I tasted the pound cake I realized that I happened to use bread flour. Hahahahahaha. My husband said it was ok but asked if next time I could use the right flour.

I definitely had a laugh over this and then of course cried (what do you expect with pregnancy emotions). However, this is definitely a try again recipe.

Thank you so much.

Thi recipe was perfect timing, I just bought a lovely harvest yellow bundt pan from Good Will on Friday. My husband loves pound cake and I’ve never made it for him. I made it on Saturday, it was HUGE, SO GOOD and he loved it. Our oven is so tempermental (bakes very hot) that I’ll have to bake it a few times to get it right. It was on the dry side. I put the foil on it after baking for 50 min and when the edges were already over done. The rest of it looked like it needed just a little more time to finish baking but I let it go another 25 mins.

Hi, Darleen! This cake requires no baking soda or baking powder and I use regular all-purpose flour. (It must be magic cake!)

I hope I didn’t miss this somewhere, but does this recipe need baking powder or b. soda? Hope you can respond rather quickly as I would like to make this cake ASAP! Thanks!

MaryAnn – that sounds so unbelievably delicious I almost drooled. I’m a sucker for eclairs. I’m going to have to remember that.

my favorite variation of pound cake leaves out the nutmeg and adds more vanilla and miniature chocolate chips. It is so yummy.
