This is a delicious pound cake. I agree that this is the only pound cake recipe I will be using from now on. My only addition was the zest of 1 lemon, in addition to 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Wonderful. I put some of this batter into Nordic Ware's bunny cakelet pan and the rest into a loaf pan. The bunnies came out great. Thanks for this recipe.

I bring most of my goods to work with me, where criticism is wanted but rarely given.(everyone is too nice! :-D)
I enjoy coming up with new variations of ordinary recipes, and sharing them with people who appreciate it!
