This cake was so good!! I made it in two loaf pans. The glaze was also very good. I definitely plan to make it many more times.

This is a wonderful cake. I didn't use a glaze on it either and I found that it took about 15 minutes longer to cook in a bundt pan.Very moist and flavourful- maybe next time I will try it in a couple of loaf pans. Thanks, Janet.

Wonderful! I didn't use the glaze (Mom never made pound cake that way) I like to put a slice in the toaster oven then spread with butter---delicious. Thanks!
