This is my favorite pound cake recipe - the almond flavor makes it soooo yummy! So delicious with strawberries and whipped creme.

I use this recipe, but I add 1t almond extract and 2t vanilla extract instead of 1T vanilla.

Whichever one you make, try toasting it. Great way to revive the flavor.

I haven't gotten any Buttermilk yet, so I made the 7-Up (Sprite) cake first....it's on the cooling rack right now! I will definitely let you know when I make the Buttermilk one.

Thumbs up on the 7-up cake!!! My husband really likes the bit of lemon flavor it has. Now on to the Buttermilk Pound Cake...I'll be making it one day this coming week. Thanks again to all of you for your responses so far...keep them coming!

DH loves this pound cake. I don't remember where I got the recipe but it has been our favorite for many years.



Jackie's Pound Cake

1 cup butter
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups flour
½ pint whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon lemon extract
½ teaspoon almond extract


Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add ½ of the flour and ½ of the cream. Mix well. Add the remaining flour and cream. Add extracts. Pour into a greased and floured pan, and put it into a cold oven. Bake at 300 degrees F about 1 ¾ hours. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Turn out on a wire rack or serving plate to complete cooling. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Humm....Linda G. The whipping cream makes this sound especially good. Looks like I'll be making pound cakes for the next couple weeks to try out all these recipes.

Conservative Hippie....I made the Buttermilk cake last night. It is really good! We tried to resist cutting it, but just couldn't wait. It is almost half gone already! I think this is a keeper for sure.

Saw this on Pinterest and remembered this thread so posting it. It is Elvis Presley's favorite pound cake.
