I used your old-fashioned recipe above -- it was a good, simple, yet great recipe. However, both times I have made the cakes, they are coming out really, really dry -- I mean very dry. They are GREAT that way when used as Strawberry Shortcake, but by itself, it is too dry to the mouth. Is there ANYTHING I can do to make the cake moist for plain eating like yours looks above??? PLEASE answer soon, very, very soon!!!! :-) Thanks, David HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!! I used your old-fashioned recipe above — it was a good, simple, yet great recipe.

Your picture shows aluminum-free baking powder... does this recipe necessitate single-acting baking powder; OR is this simply a matter of preference; OR are you trying to avoid the risk of the metallic flavor coming through? Also, has anyone tried freezing this? Perhaps in smaller portions? Any success? I am more of a cook than a baker, so thanks for the help. Maybe its time for me to get Bakewise to keep my Cookwise company. Looks delicious and I have been meaning to make pound cake for a long time.

My mouth puckered when I saw the pic of the cake. I know what i'm making today! It's rainy and cold out, a perfect day for a slice of warm pound cake with a pat of butter on top. I make mine with a cup of sour cream, it comes out amazing! Awesome pics, again! Hi Jessie! My mouth puckered when I saw the pic of the cake. I know what i’m making today!
