Questions & Replies

  1. I'd like to make this, however, the picture shows a round tube pan. The recipe says loaf pan which is smaller. Would I double the recipe for the tube Pam? And what of the icing on top?

  1. i found the batter to be very stiff and hard to work with. so stiff in fact, that i used a chopstick to stir the batters together. i substituted cocoa powder for the grated chocolate. that being said, my dh said this was the best pound cake he has ever had! as he just walked in munching the last piece i'll have to take his word for it, he and my kids inhaled it!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
