Is 1 hour and 45 minutes the correct cooking time? The current chocolate pound cake recipe I use bakes for only 1 hour and 15 minutes. The only difference is that Paula's recipe uses buttermilk and baking soda. Just want to check so I don't burn up my cake!

Paula, I work in a physical therapy/cardio pulmonary rehab facility and they have tv's stationed on the wall in various places and most days I do get to watch/listen to your program. Are these programs now upto date? Most of the time in the past I noticed they were a couple of years old. Just wondering if you were still taping your show. Please continue your program I really enjoy the recipes.

Ms. Paula, I am the lucky one because I live about 20 minutes from Tunica casino. So, why does that make me lucky....eating at Paula Deans....yum yum... I also wanted to find out about the chocolate over the chocolate pound cake that is Ms Paula's favorite. Is there a recipe for it. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes and tips

Where is the fudge icing for this chocolate pound cake?

By LeAnne on September 10, 2011

I made this cake for the first time and it is wonderful, very easy to make and it turned out perfect.. I know some said it was dry but mine was very moist and everyone loved it...

do you have a chocolate icing recipe to drizzle on this cake?

By Becky on January 27, 2011

I have made this cake at least 10 times and it always turns out delicious. I made several this Christmas with good reviews from all. My picky 20 year old daughter loves this cake. AMAZINGLY, I HAVE USED THIS RECIPE FOR CAKES I DECORATE WITH FONDANT OR GUM PASTE. THE DENSITY OF THIS CAKE HOLDS UP WELL WITH THE EXTRA WEIGHT. YUMMY

I had to make this cake twice b/c the first time the recipe was to much for the bunt pan that I had and it over flowed in the oven. The second time around I did not use all the recipe. When it was done it turned out beautiful and it was extremely delicious. I topped it off with a fudge glaze and it was the hit of the party. Nice and moist in the middle with a chewy crusty outside.

I have made this pound cake many times. Each and every time that I have made it, it has turned out wounderfull. Everyone loves it. I have had no problems with it turning out dry. It is always great. Thank you Paula for all of your great recipes.

I consider myself a decent baker but this recipe has baffled me. I have made this cake 3 times in the past 10 days and it has fell each time. I have used fresh ingredients and at room temp. I have used a bundt pan, loaf pan and a regular tube pan and it fell with all of them. I didn't open the oven door during baking. I am racking my brains trying to figure what is wrong. The only thing I do know, I WILL NOT TRY IT AGAIN!

I made this pound cake for the Cultural Center fundraiser of gumbo and dessert. This pound cake was a great hit. Everyone was coming up to me to ask for the recipe. This recipe will be a staple in my easy scrumptious recipe box! Once again, thanks Paula!
