My grandmother’s pound cake tastes like moist, dense angel food cake. Even friends who don’t like pound cake love this pound cake! Don’t bother figuring up calories; I’m sure it’s off the charts. I’m telling you, this cake is heavenly. But I’m convinced that somehow, in heaven, it’ll be good for you!

thanks!! i was just this morning thinking i needed to find a good pound cake recipe. i’ve tried a box one, almond pound cake, made it with a strawberry trifle–amazing! but wanted to do it on my own, so thank you!!
That does look heavenly! I am writing this one down. There is a time and place for such a cake as this. Thank you!

I love the simplicity of this recipe & am going to try it with strawberries for a strawberry shortcake. Thanks for sharing it!
Really good, super moist. it went fast. Thank you for sharing it, yum.
That looks so good! I like toasting pound cake in the morning and having it with coffee. Something about the crunchy (that and I put a little butter on it to melt like making buttered toast.) You made me hungry for pound cake!
It’s sooo good that way!
I made this cake for Thanksgiving. It was a hit! I’m making another one for my mom’s bday.
Awesome! I took it to our Sunday school class Christmas party and it cracked me up when one of my friends (who apparently reads my blog) said, “You’re right; this cake is blog-worthy!”
Weird question. I know traditionally, you’re supposed to use a bundt cake pan for a pound cake, but is it completely necessary? I ask because I don’t have a regular oven, and a regular sized bundt pan wouldn’t fit in my Ninja 3-1.What would be a good substitute for it?
Hmm… might take a little experimentation. Might have to do it in more than one pan, like a layer cake?
Have you ever tried this in a loaf pan? If so, what are the baking instructions?
GM, I have been putting off making this cake since Thanksgiving! I got up early this morning and made this cake. I love the fact that it is very simple. It’s in the oven as we speak I hope it taste as good as it looks.
Do you use plain or surprising flour ?
It’s specifically labeled “cake flour” at the store. Hope that helps!
Do you preheat your oven?
Yes, I do preheat.
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
I am very eager to try this recipe out!
Whatever I have on hand. 🙂 Usually that’s unsalted but I’ve made it with salted as well.
