I know I posted this before, but I want to say it again!! Follow the entire recipe with ALL the ingredients it calls for, but add softened cream cheese after the eggs. I didn't use the whole square of cream cheese but a little over 1/2. I increased the cooking time and let it cook for 1 hr and 35 min. Kisses

Well just put the pound cake in my cold oven. I used 4oz of cream cheese and 4 tbs of cocoa and a half a cup of chocolate chips at the end. We will see how it turns out....I love chocolate so it really can't be but so bad lol. If it does turn out yummy then next time I will pour half the batter in the pan, then put mini chocolate chips on that and then pour the rest on top!! Top it all off with a chocolate glaze with french vanilla ice cream!!

Hi Frances, The recipe calls for all-purpose flour.

Paula do you use all purpose flour in your pound cake are cake flour. I have mess up on it 2 time Ty Frances

This is the easiest and most flavorful pound cake you can ever make! I've made it for years. It is just deeeelishus! (Say it like Paula does). The recipe make a great yellow layer cake for chocolate frosting, I've used the same recipe to make a decorated sheet cake. It is just a wonderful "all around pound cake" recipe. Remember: do NOT preheat the oven!

This makes a perfect pound cake! Mine was ready after 1 hour. Usually, cake at the office lasts all day. This was gone by lunch.

Just wanted to say i love your Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf recipe....it's delicious my family doesn't waste anytime with it.

I loved this pound cake, I've tried several recipes and they all would come out dry after the cake cooled, I think the whipping cream made the difference, I will be throwing out the other pound cake recipes and using only this one from now on. I didn't measure my vanilla I just poured until it looked like enough, I did add a 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, that was perfect. Thank you Paula, I look forward to trying your red velvet cake recipe also.

This is absolutely the best pound cake recipe, I have ever used. I'm throwing the rest of the pound cake recipes in the trash and use this one only. I don't measure my vanilla i just pour until it look like enough, but I added 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract and it was perfect. Demita Jones

This pound cake is absolutely delicious...i've tried several pound cake recipes and none of them has turned out like this one. Hands down this is one of the best cakes i've ever tasted let along baked from scrath..this recipe is super easy and i love the fact that u don't have to worry about preheating the oven (i always seem to forget that part)...i took this cake to work and within 30 minutes it had disappeared, so you be the judge!

This recipe is similar to one i have made for years, 7-up pound cake!!!!! The heavy cream makes it very moist!!!! It smells delightful while its cooking in the oven.....It took longer than the suggested bake time for my oven....I used vanilla extract this time, I wanna try almond or the lemon !!!!! Hope you enjoy as much as I have !!!!

I loved this cake as is, but recently my husband and I went Gluten Free. We both feel like new people and this cake is Fabulous (gluten free) when made with Namaste Perfect Blend flour just substituted. Secondly, I added 1 1/2 tsp of extra xanthum gum...and was spectacular.

My first pound cake ever! I made it last night in a silicone pan. This afternoon after cutting it, I realized it was super dense... even the lovely crust that tasted so good last night was harder. I heated each slice about 15 secs. in the microwave to soften it up. Made a little drizzle with water & powdered sugar, topped with whip cream. Everyone said it was delicious! But, my hubby said it was too dense for him. I'm going to put macerated strawberries on it this evening... see if that works for him. Thanks for an easy recipe! I'm going to buy a regular bundt pan too!

This cake is excellant.I used cakeflour instead of AP flour & follow the directions as indicated. I've made this cake 4 times in the last 2 months & shares it with my sister-in law who gave me your recipe. I also cut individual slices and wrap in foil,put in freezer a bag & put it into my freezer,so I can take out a slice @ a time to eat @ a later date. Also, one of the cakes I put in chopped pecans & it came out perfect.This has become one of my favorite pound cake recipes.I rate this greater than 5 stars. Ya its just that good !!!
