Questions & Replies

I'm wondering what the consistency of the batter should be. Mine definitely didn't POUR into the pan. More like I had to guide it in with a spatula.
In the process of making this cake for the 1st time. Wondering if I can also use almond extract?

Reviews

I didn't make the cake but the Glaze was fabulous!! I just added a little condensed milk for sweetness/texture and a little evaporate milk for consistency to the powdered sugar mixture only, otherwise followed recipe exactly!
I use this recipe again and again, the only substitution I have made is 1. using lime peel and juice 2. using a lemon-lime combo peel and juice or 3. using orange peel and juice. This is the closest recipe I have found to the one my mother used to make except she always made pound cake in a loaf tin. A tube tin makes it far better.
Cake & glaze were both wonderful! Took the author's advice and let it sit wrapped overnight. Poured a powdered sugar & limoncello icing over top the next day...yummy!
I made this pound cake today! It was heavy, putting it into the bunt pan, but beautiful when I plated it! I made a lemon glaze, which my son loved. I did. not take a pic, but will the next time. I liked reading tweaks that others made, and will try the lemon, orange idea for a glaze or the limoncello addition. Very great recipe!! ????????
