This is one of my families favorite pound cakes. I use all butter instead of butter with shortening. I can't imagine it being better using shortening. I also add a tbsp of vanilla flavoring because we love vanilla and it gives the cake even more flavor. Lastly, I add a powered sugar glaze with 7-up and lemon vanilla in it. I have also just added powered sugar when I don't have time to make the glaze. This cakes is amazing and also sell this cake and it is one of the most requested. Add a pinch of salt to the flour. Also, I alternate the flour with the 7-up ending with flour. Most cakes use this method and I figured I would too. It absolutely works. I highly recommend this cake. -
First time making this..was delicious! Will add more extract next time to bring out more flavor. Added a glaze as well. Big hit with the family and friends.

Wonderful!!! Moist, and light, and ooohh, so delicious. I would definitely recommend this one. I also added 1/4 tsp salt to mine to enhanced the flavor. -
It was so simple to make right to the point thanks alot my kids enjoyed it -
This is the BEST pound cake ever!!! You will not be disappointed at all. I even used regular all purpose flour and it worked out just fine:) When I made the first pound cake during Christmas, it was gone in 24 hours. I made another one the next day. It is great with or without a glaze. I did make a glaze--absolutley delicious!!!<br/>That is why this cake has 5 stars--I give it a 10:)
