  1. Very good pound cake! I was worried that 2T. of orange extract would be too much but it was perfect. Great texture, great flavor, moist. What more could you ask for? Served it with warm dark chocolate sauce drizzled over each piece as it was served.
     
  2. Made this cake for 2 of my friends birthday's. They loved it as well as everyone else did. :) It is requested that I make this for them now from now on. I used Recipe #148069 for a frosting. Loved the texture! Its a delicious cake :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
