If I have to bring something to an event, I make this and it's always a hit!"

Please verify that the recipe is correct as written...... Only the bottom of the pan is greased and floured. I really look forward to making this cake. -
This cake looks and sounds great. What type of flour is used, all-purpose or white lily?

Loved this cake! The first time I made it it was a hit, Taking it to my Reunion and I know it will be great! Thanks for this recipe! -
This is a fabulous pound cake recipe!! Mile high is right!! Thank you for posting!! -
I can't take a picture of this cake because it's gone as soon as it hits the counter (after it cools, of course!). Everyone should have that one cake that's a surefire hit, and this one is it! -
I made this cake again and made it different from the first time. This time I used butter and margarine and beat the sugar and butter about five minutes. I used a large tube pan and I also lightly greased and floured my tube pan and baked it accordingly to the directions and let me say this when it was done I took it outta the pan, it was taller than the one in the picture and you talking bout moist cake buttery it was delicious. I didn't have to add anything to it I made a simple glaze for it it was ready. Very good cake.

This pound cake is AMAZING! Dense, buttery, and not too sweet. I made it for my mom and for my mother in law for Mother’s Day. They both loved it!

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
