I just found this today, and tried it for the first time, simply delicious!! I served it with a fresh strawberry sauce, everyone loved it -
I have to tell you, I never made Pound cake before and your recipe was easy!!! Well I will definetly make it again!! I added( Spiced rum poured all over it ) and let it set for a few days and it's a winner.. I really liked the taste even before the RUM!.. I will make it again!! Very good! -
i liked it and thought it was very easy to make. the flavor was very good and buttery...the cake in the middle was nice and soft. just the bottom was a little hard but it was very good though..will make it again. -
I have to say that my kids were quite disappointed after reading the review of this recipe. They didn't have a football to play with! All they had was this soft fresh pound cake that was nice and tasty. Not to mention it was fabulous with strawberries and cream. Thanks alot Vel. ;) -
I picked this because it looked really easy. I don't know what I did with this one because it came out like... well, let's just say we could have played football with the loaf! I'm new at the homemade poundcake thing, though, and this was my first try.

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.
I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.
I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.

The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize.
I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!
Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!
In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :
(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic
I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).
If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
