I just put this in the oven. I normally let my husband lick the bowl. This time I licked the bowl, the spatula, a beater - then he called my name. I forgot he was still in the house, so I reluctantly gave him the other beater. Just cut the sample. It's just as you described. It has a cookie like crust, soft, moist, texture on the inside. Thanks so much for sharing. I love the way you cook!
Hi L Taylor, ikr the batter is so good! The cookie crust part of the cake is my favorite. I know hubby is in pound cake heaven. Thanks for sharing your experience, it makes my day. Blessings
I don’t know where you are, but I’d pay you for this and a cream cheese pound cake YUM!!! I’m serious, just ship them FedEx to me. As a musician from a Jazz family, I just loved and appreciated the music of a simple non intrusive bass in the background, thanks! I might’ve subscribed well over a year ago and enjoy your channel, beauty, sexy voice and incredible skills in the kitchen. In all seriousness, as a business venture, you might want to consider selling certain baked items online. I’d be a customer for sure! Thanks and all of the best wishes to you and your family.
they say margarine is bad 4 u, but not because it's "one molecule" away from plastic; in the world of science, one molecule can be huge...but yeah, they say margarine's pretty bad
Actually, I worked in a three star restaurant back in the late nineties and every night we would whip equal parts butter and margarine, which would go into ramakins and served on the table. The chef did this not for cost savings, but because it made the best tasting butter spread. Also, if you're worried about ingesting chemicals, with the exception of sugar, the instant pudding is nothing but chemicals. I make a similar cake, but I use the zest and juice of five or six lemons and forgo the pudding and the flavoring.
This is my third time making this cake since Thanksgiving. Just put it in the oven for Christmas tomorrow. This is the absolute BEST lemon cream cheese pound cake I've ever tasted. Followed the recipe exactly! Thanks again for posting this! ❤
You are so right K V*. One of the easiest pound cakes you could ever make. Just follow the recipe exactly and what happens next and what happens next is legendary. Thanks for watching. Blessings.
I really enjoyed the simple yet professional speech that you narrated.... I love lemon pound cake, but I have to bake this soon. Keep up the good teachings...
+Lela Robinson Hey Lela .... I agree wholeheartedly.They'll sell us on an item and then years later we'll find that new studies reveal something opposite from what they told us. It was the same way with Canola oil. There's no such plant as a canola so what is it? The name comes from a combination of the words Canada and oil. I haven't used that stuff in over a decade either. I've heard that canola is motor oil processed in a different way to make it look presentable. Lela, thank you so much for commenting. Blessings.
Wow, that is so wrong. Canola oil is rapeseed oil from the rapeseed plant, which is in the cabbage family. Canola is the trade name - Canada Oil Low Acid, because the plants were bred to have lower erucic acid than regular rapeseed oil. It also sounded good for marketing. Geez, it’s not the healthiest oil in the world, but it’s not freaking motor oil! How do you people come up with this stuff?
Listen I just made this cake and followed your recipe... first ever scratch made cake! Best cake I've had in a long time hands down! Thank you! My family loves it.
Hi Meso I made your cake today and it is amazing. I love the silky texture of the cake inside and crusty exterior my glaze just set it off so lemony good thank you for sharing.😍
Ms. Meso. I made this pound cake for our church meeting. My sister HATES....Lemon Pound Cake. HATES. But Meso....she loved this cake here. She even apologized to me for getting on me for making a Lemon Pound Cake (at first)...which she kept sayin' "now sis you know---I don't like lemon". I was finishing up my table setting and she called me over and said "Sis, I owe you an apology....this cake...is tha' BOMB" and then-- instructed me to go get her another piece. Thanks girl!!!!!!!!!!! So much. Everybody loved it. And I got none. How dat happen? I am an awesome baker (yes I am...lol)---but never seem to have success getting pounds right in the standard pans such as you used. So---I 'loafed' them. Whatever works right. Ain't no pound cake go defeat me.
+r harris Hello, I agree with you, how can you go wrong with these ingredients? It's a delicious cake I hope you make it sometime. Thanks for watching and commenting. Blessings.
Hiya Meso! I made a pound cake yesterday, similar to your recipe. Next time, I want to try your recipe because I am very intrigued by the lemon pudding. It has been so long since I've made a pound cake. It used to be the one cake I made frequently, other than cheesecakes. I often made two at a time. One without glaze for myself, and the other for everyone else. I think pound cake is sweet enough itself. I'm cutting up most of this cake today to freeze slices so I don't try to eat it all. I came to your channel last night looking for a chicken recipe for the drumsticks I have, and of course got distracted. And today had to watch this video several times. And the french vanilla one. I never get bored of hanging out in Meso's kitchen. I made a loaf of yummy herb bread - fat loaf I should have made into two loaves. Your smothered wings look like a good match but I'm all out of bouillon. You don't know how my mouth was already tasting that gravy, scooping that gravy up with my lima beans, and sopping up every drop of the gravy from my plate with my herb bread. Then dessert of pound cake, perfect meal for these cold winter nights. These are real tears of disappointment falling onto my keyboard as I type this because I won't get to the store 'til later in the week. Dream bubble completely bursted.
Looks EXACTLY like my southern aunts' pound cakes. Dense, moist, rich, buttery, sweet. All but one of the aunts are gone now. The last living one made me a caramel pound cake for my birthday. When she's gone, that's it. No more southern pound cakes. Unless...Meso Making it opens up a bakery and ships her rich, buttery, southern pound cakes to me...
You baked this cake so perfectly and orderly it looks so delicious and moist and beautiful , it is the best I've ever seen on RUclips I am making this cake this week. Thank you for sharing.
+Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill Hey Ray, yes sir, me too and I have to say this is a very old fashioned, very good easy one to make. I'm truly not a baker I'm a cook but pound cakes are one of my specialties. Be blessed.
I will most definitely be adding this cake to my thanksgiving dessert list and thanks for the quick lesson on canola oil...I had never heard that before...stay well
+Lili G Hello Lili, how are you? I hope you do try it. You will most certainly be proud of the end result. Let me know how your family likes it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Blessings to you.
Hello, Ms.Meso! I have two questions, do I use salted or unsalted butter and can I use cake flour instead of regular flour? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
Damien, I am sorry I'm running so far behind on my responses but I get so many it is impossible to keep up. But 1. You can use whatever butter you have but I prefer unsalted in this recipe but salted won't hurt. 2. Yes you can use cake flour instead of plain or all-purpose flour. Thanks for watching, remain safe and be blessed.
LaLa ..... I knew I loved you just from your name. Yes, butter! I will tell people what the recipe says and that margarine can be used but BUTTA is the way. Thank you for watching and many blessings.
I have made this delicious cake for my family and friends. They went back for seconds. So moist with the added lemon instant pudding. OMG so good. I wish I could show you a picture of this delicious cake I made. Can u use more then one flavoring extract to this cake?
Hey there- I've used Almond, Orange, & a rum extracts along with the vanilla & lemon. I've also added a a bit under a 1/4 tsp of ground ginger. Hope that helps!
Yes you can use other extracts in this recipe. For example, if you wanted to make it pineapple you could use pineapple flavoring and use pineapple pudding or banana pudding with banana flavoring. Feel free to experiment you will find some wonderful things. Blessings
Balayla, after Covid- 19 is over you can take it somewhere and share it with them. But during this time think about how many people would love this as a gift! It is inexpensive and covers an entire family as a gift. I'm doing some cakes and pies for friends and loved ones as gifts this year. Like take out! A gloved hand and masked face will pass the cakes and pies through the door. BTW, Check out my sweet potato pie recipe here on this channel. I promise you, you have never tasted anything like it. It is easy to prepare and will make anyone you serve it to get into a fetal position and beg for more. Try it out or just read the many comments of success they have had with this recipe. When you do try it just let me know how you liked it. Blessings
Did you do it? How did it work out for you? You are smart to try it before the holidays but this is a really easy recipe. Take me (on your device) in the kitchen with you. You won't fail! Blessings.
+FitAnge S Hello FitAnge, I do love a tall pound cake with that crusty, cookie exterior and of course fluffy and moist on the inside. Thanks for commenting. Stay blessed.
+Diamond Go Diamond, go Diamond, go Diamond! lol ..... I'm glad you had good success with this recipe. It truly is one of the best cakes I have eaten. Now you can take all the bows in your kitchen for this lemony goodness. Thanks for taking the time to come back and let me know. Many blessings your way Diamond!
+Diamond Diamond ..... hahaha see I just said that to you in another comment. Girl take the bows, take the bows. This will be happening more and more but the cakes are relatively easy to make and not that expensive so no worries. Thanks for commenting. Blessings
Meso, I just relize that this recipe you have is the same one i been had for years the only thing i stop doing was adding the instant pudding mix to mines because the sugar was enough
Angela, yes all pound cake recipes are about the same with a few little tweaks. You've been making this recipe for 5 years so I already know it turns out well for you. I use the pudding most of the time because of the moistness. I don't find it adds too much sweetness for me and my crew. Sometimes I use the sugar free pudding too. Depends on who I am making it for. Thanks Angela and many blessings.
Omg l just can't wait to make this cake l love lemon and cakes pie cookies candy's just love lemon.lol I also only use Butter to cook with never ever buy margarine buy mother when she baked she always used butter in her baking. I haven't had butter since maybe 78 or 79 we stopped using it and my mother would buy it then occasionally because butter was always in my house but margarine was some time and to nothing makes your food taste better then butter to me I have only one question is there a substitute for the lemon jello pudding mixture.? l don't like jello pudding and would like to use something els if l.can for the flavor or leave just this out and can l use cake flour instead of all purpose flour.? But thank you for a wonderful homemade cake recipe that l will differently be trying as soon as l can get the little extras l.need to make this cake l always keep in my house my basics always like my flavors, butter,.cake flour and all purpose flour as well but looking forward to this cake l know my family we love this cake..😀💕🍋🎂😁 Happy Holidays To You and Your Family.
Yes you can leave out the pudding mix altogether and double the amount of lemon flavoring and decrease the vanilla flavoring by half. Yes you can use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Thanks for watching and be safe and blessed this holiday season.
Just discovered you and am excited to bake. .Question? When I bake , my cakes rises beautifully until the last 30 minutes then fall in the oven right before my eyes. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I follow recipe directions, room temp for ingredients, purchased a new Artisian mixer and cakes still fall. I want to fix this. Help!!! Thanks, Rhonda in Alabama
Hey Rhonda, sorry for the late response honey. Here are a few things to trouble shoot ........ make sure you are starting off in a fully pre-heated oven, make sure temp is 325 degrees when you put cake in, make sure all ingredients like baking soda and baking powder (for any cake) are fresh, make sure ingredients are properly measured, don't open oven door to early, don't let batter sit too long before getting into properly heated oven, don't over beat batter in last stage, don't slam or close oven door to hard, and sometimes mixing ingredients in wrong order can have an affect on cake as well. Hope some of this helps. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Thank you for this recipe!! The recipe states to place batter mixture into a "large tube pan (not bundt cake pan)," why should we not use a bundt cake pan? Can we use a bundt cake pan? Thank you!
I am going to make this cake for Easter wonderful video, and by you saying margarine did not seem like Blasphemy; for my first pound cake ever i use margarine because i didnt want to expriement with my Amish butter, LOL so saying all that i will bake a lemon cream cake using your reciepe. It looks so big and yummy my family will enjoy! but going to use butter cause i got it now. thanks Good looking out. God Bless!
Diane, butter not to mention Amish butter (I have some in my fridge right now) is always better health wise and taste wise in my book. But a lot of people still use margarine and prefer it. Thanks for watching and be safe and blessed this holiday.
Hey Meso! Its Kimmie! Lol I made this for Christmas and it was a Super Hit! Mmmmm... I even have requests to make it for New Year's Day. Yay me! I have an issue with all of my pound cakes, and that is, the top of the cake always opens up. (parts of it) I hope you know what I mean. So, the cake is done but the portion(s) that are open are loose and jiggly. ...now, I have to let that get done, almost burning the sides of the cake. I always turn the cake over, but that top part never fails to open up. I shake my batter in the pan and use a rubber spatula to remove any air pockets. Help me Please!!! Happy New Year to you & yours! Wishing you an Amazing 2016!
+Kimberly “Kimmie” Fowler Hey there Kimmie! I am so excited to hear of your great success! I love it and this is the reason that I do YT at all. Girl ...... wow em' and knock it out of the park for New Years. I'm gonna try and help. Now for the cake top cracking in places .... that's normal and that part goes down against the cake plate but if inside the cracks are loose and jiggly you are right, it is certainly not done. Let's re-cap: Make sure your oven is pre-heated to 325 before putting cake in. Bake at least 1 & 1/2 hours (90 min.) before opening oven door. Make sure all ingredients are totally room temperature. Place pan on middle rack in oven for baking. Use large spoon to spoon batter instead of shaking. Don't use spatula for air bubbles just tap bottom of pan against counter top once. Make sure to check inside crack with toothpick or skewer that should come back clean. If it is loose I would estimate cooking only 5 to 7 more minutes. Not long enough that it almost burns. If all of this fails get oven thermometer to check that oven is heating properly and evenly. Follow this checklist and Please, please let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and commenting. May 2016 bring you health, prosperity and many blessings!
+Kimberly “Kimmie” Fowler I been making this pound cake since 1987. Here's what I do to prevent over browning. To start off, I do not preheat my oven. Place heavy duty foil on the top rack of your oven. Once you have poured your batter into your baking pan of choice, place the pan on top of a cookie sheet pan and then place your cake into the COLD OVEN. YOU NOTICED I SAID COLD OVEN. Place the cake on the bottom oven level. My oven has 6 different levels, so I place my cake on the 2nd level from the bottom. Set the oven temperature to 350. In my oven, it takes this cake 1hr:20-25 min. to fully bake. After 1hr: 15 min. has passed, remove the foil from the top oven rack. Now would be a safe time to check for doneness. Stick a long wooden skewer into the middle of the cake. If the skewer has batter on it, continue to bake for another 5 to 10min. I hope this helps...
Kimberly Fowler You're welcome...In regard to placing the foil on the top oven rack, I always place the foil on a rack directly above my cake. PS...Make sure you use 2 long pieces of heavy duty foil to place on the rack. So let us recap the methods to prevent over browning: (1). The "COLD OVEN METHOD" prevents the cake from cooking too fast. (2). Placing the "FOIL ABOVE THE CAKE" shields the top of the cake against direct heat. (3). The "COOKIE SHEET PAN" does the same for the bottom of the cake. You should be fine with your next cream cheese pound cake...! Happy cooking...!
Sorry the recipe does not call for either. Add at your own risk. When it comes to baking I don't try to modify. I am a good cook not a super baker. But you sound like you know what you're doing so let me know how it turns out for you. Blessings
Carolyn, I think you could drop the amount of sugar by about a half to 3/4 cup and of course you could add back in another kind of sweetener be it artificial or natural. Actually, a better way might be to eliminate or cut down on the icing because the cake itself is not all that sweet. Be blessed
Omg. I just finished making this (adding a cup of 7up to the mix) and literally created a new department of heaven.
Trey so you added the 7-up and the cream cheese? Ok let me find out. I may have to try it. Hmmmm
Praise Him
I just put this in the oven. I normally let my husband lick the bowl. This time I licked the bowl, the spatula, a beater - then he called my name. I forgot he was still in the house, so I reluctantly gave him the other beater. Just cut the sample. It's just as you described. It has a cookie like crust, soft, moist, texture on the inside. Thanks so much for sharing. I love the way you cook!
Hi L Taylor, ikr the batter is so good! The cookie crust part of the cake is my favorite. I know hubby is in pound cake heaven. Thanks for sharing your experience, it makes my day. Blessings
L Taylor You're funny, lol!
@@MesoMakingIt how do I find right size big pan. Mine is little. I tried once and all the batter spilled in oven. It was a disaster.
Did it come out the pan with no problem after an hr wait
@@mzjenae1 I'm curious to find out too, I don't think I could do it
I just made this cake and I've decided that I don't want any company over this weekend. Amazing!!!!!
Lol
I don’t know where you are, but I’d pay you for this and a cream cheese pound cake YUM!!! I’m serious, just ship them FedEx to me.

margarine one molecule away from plastic.Butter makes everything better!

Using margarine over butter is like putting a bumper sticker on a Ferrari

But this lemon pound cake recipe is awesome, and I do agree that margarine is an abomination. Only real butter is allowed in my kitchen, too.
Omg you make your lemon cream cheese pound cake EXACTLY the way my grandmother does. Tfs this great recipe.
That Watkins brand of extracts does the trick for so much flavor

+Diamond Go Diamond, go Diamond, go Diamond! lol ..... I'm glad you had good success with this recipe. It truly is one of the best cakes I have eaten. Now you can take all the bows in your kitchen for this lemony goodness. Thanks for taking the time to come back and let me know. Many blessings your way Diamond!
+Meso Making It Lol now i have to make 3 more of these cakes because it was such a Hugh hit thanks for sharing this recipe!=)
+Diamond Diamond ..... hahaha see I just said that to you in another comment. Girl take the bows, take the bows. This will be happening more and more but the cakes are relatively easy to make and not that expensive so no worries. Thanks for commenting. Blessings
Yum yum!!
Meso, I just relize that this recipe you have is the same one i been had for years the only thing i stop doing was adding the instant pudding mix to mines because the sugar was enough
Angela, yes all pound cake recipes are about the same with a few little tweaks. You've been making this recipe for 5 years so I already know it turns out well for you. I use the pudding most of the time because of the moistness. I don't find it adds too much sweetness for me and my crew. Sometimes I use the sugar free pudding too. Depends on who I am making it for. Thanks Angela and many blessings.
Hello from Florida...First time listener...

Mine too! Thanks for watching. Blessings.
Omg l just can't wait to make this cake l love lemon and cakes pie cookies candy's just love lemon.lol
I also only use Butter to cook with never ever buy margarine buy mother when she baked she always used butter in her baking.
I haven't had butter since maybe 78 or 79 we stopped using it and my mother would buy it then occasionally because butter was always in my house but margarine was some time and to nothing makes your food taste better then butter to me
I have only one question is there a substitute for the lemon jello pudding mixture.?
l don't like jello pudding and would like to use something els if l.can for the flavor or leave just this out and can l use cake flour instead of all purpose flour.?
But thank you for a wonderful homemade cake recipe that l will differently be trying as soon as l can get the little extras l.need to make this cake l always keep in my house my basics always like my flavors, butter,.cake flour and all purpose flour as well but looking forward to this cake l know my family we love this cake..😀💕🍋🎂😁
Happy Holidays To You and Your Family.
Yes you can leave out the pudding mix altogether and double the amount of lemon flavoring and decrease the vanilla flavoring by half. Yes you can use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Thanks for watching and be safe and blessed this holiday season.
I just love your videos and recipes!

Thank you L Blake, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
I just found your channel that pound cake looks 👍 good.i like your channel.I love pound 🎂 cake.
Thank you.
Looks great! This is an awesome presentation! You did not use leavening, right? Thank you. Gonna try it very soon
right, no leavening in this one,
Just discovered you and am excited to bake.
.Question? When I bake , my cakes rises beautifully until the last 30 minutes then fall in the oven right before my eyes. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I follow recipe directions, room temp for ingredients, purchased a new Artisian mixer and cakes still fall. I want to fix this. Help!!!
Thanks,
Rhonda in Alabama
Hey Rhonda, sorry for the late response honey. Here are a few things to trouble shoot ........ make sure you are starting off in a fully pre-heated oven, make sure temp is 325 degrees when you put cake in, make sure all ingredients like baking soda and baking powder (for any cake) are fresh, make sure ingredients are properly measured, don't open oven door to early, don't let batter sit too long before getting into properly heated oven, don't over beat batter in last stage, don't slam or close oven door to hard, and sometimes mixing ingredients in wrong order can have an affect on cake as well. Hope some of this helps. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Thank you for this recipe!! The recipe states to place batter mixture into a "large tube pan (not bundt cake pan)," why should we not use a bundt cake pan? Can we use a bundt cake pan? Thank you!
Hi I just found this I want to make it did u use salted or unsalted butter?
Hey sweetie, for this recipe it doesn't matter. Use what you have.
@@MesoMakingIt thank u very much
I am getting ready to make this cake. Please tell me, do you use regular or instant lemon pudding? I bought both.
Sorry for late response but use whichever you have. It will not make a noticeable difference. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
I am going to make this cake for Easter wonderful video, and by you saying margarine did not seem like Blasphemy; for my first pound cake ever i use margarine because i didnt want to expriement with my Amish butter, LOL so saying all that i will bake a lemon cream cake using your reciepe. It looks so big and yummy my family will enjoy! but going to use butter cause i got it now. thanks Good looking out. God Bless!
Diane, butter not to mention Amish butter (I have some in my fridge right now) is always better health wise and taste wise in my book. But a lot of people still use margarine and prefer it. Thanks for watching and be safe and blessed this holiday.
Hey Meso! Its Kimmie! Lol I made this for Christmas and it was a Super Hit! Mmmmm... I even have requests to make it for New Year's Day. Yay me! I have an issue with all of my pound cakes, and that is, the top of the cake always opens up. (parts of it) I hope you know what I mean. So, the cake is done but the portion(s) that are open are loose and jiggly. ...now, I have to let that get done, almost burning the sides of the cake. I always turn the cake over, but that top part never fails to open up. I shake my batter in the pan and use a rubber spatula to remove any air pockets. Help me Please!!! Happy New Year to you & yours! Wishing you an Amazing 2016!
+Kimberly “Kimmie” Fowler Hey there Kimmie! I am so excited to hear of your great success! I love it and this is the reason that I do YT at all. Girl ...... wow em' and knock it out of the park for New Years. I'm gonna try and help.
Now for the cake top cracking in places .... that's normal and that part goes down against the cake plate but if inside the cracks are loose and jiggly you are right, it is certainly not done.
Let's re-cap: Make sure your oven is pre-heated to 325 before putting cake in. Bake at least 1 & 1/2 hours (90 min.) before opening oven door. Make sure all ingredients are totally room temperature. Place pan on middle rack in oven for baking. Use large spoon to spoon batter instead of shaking. Don't use spatula for air bubbles just tap bottom of pan against counter top once. Make sure to check inside crack with toothpick or skewer that should come back clean. If it is loose I would estimate cooking only 5 to 7 more minutes. Not long enough that it almost burns. If all of this fails get oven thermometer to check that oven is heating properly and evenly.
Follow this checklist and Please, please let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and commenting. May 2016 bring you health, prosperity and many blessings!
You're the Bestest!!! Lol Thank you soooo much!!!
+Kimberly “Kimmie” Fowler I been making this pound cake since 1987. Here's what I do to prevent over browning. To start off, I do not preheat my oven. Place heavy duty foil on the top rack of your oven. Once you have poured your batter into your baking pan of choice, place the pan on top of a cookie sheet pan and then place your cake into the COLD OVEN. YOU NOTICED I SAID COLD OVEN. Place the cake on the bottom oven level. My oven has 6 different levels, so I place my cake on the 2nd level from the bottom. Set the oven temperature to 350. In my oven, it takes this cake 1hr:20-25 min. to fully bake. After 1hr: 15 min. has passed, remove the foil from the top oven rack. Now would be a safe time to check for doneness. Stick a long wooden skewer into the middle of the cake. If the skewer has batter on it, continue to bake for another 5 to 10min. I hope this helps...
+Jon Doe Thank you so much!
Kimberly Fowler You're welcome...In regard to placing the foil on the top oven rack, I always place the foil on a rack directly above my cake. PS...Make sure you use 2 long pieces of heavy duty foil to place on the rack. So let us recap the methods to prevent over browning: (1). The "COLD OVEN METHOD" prevents the cake from cooking too fast. (2). Placing the "FOIL ABOVE THE CAKE" shields the top of the cake against direct heat. (3). The "COOKIE SHEET PAN" does the same for the bottom of the cake. You should be fine with your next cream cheese pound cake...! Happy cooking...!
Just took it out the oven
I guess I will Glaze it in the future
Look delicious absolutely.... Yummy Yummy.. Where can I find this pan
Can you use brown sugar and did you use salted butter or unsalted butter?
Hi Tommie, no to brown sugar and salt doesn't matter. Use what you have. Blessings

Hello Meso, there is no leveling agent like baking power or soda? I am going to make this cake over the weekend.
Sorry the recipe does not call for either. Add at your own risk. When it comes to baking I don't try to modify. I am a good cook not a super baker. But you sound like you know what you're doing so let me know how it turns out for you. Blessings
Good afternoon how are you? Wow that looks so good you did a wonderful job keep up the good work. God bless you 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😍😍

Pat and welcome to the family. Many blessings.
Good Evening. Your cake looks delicious. I do have one question. What is the size of your tube cake pan are you using?
Hello Redbird, my pan is a 10 to 12 cup compacity. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.
@@MesoMakingIt Thank you for replying back to me. Your information was very helpful. Again, Thank you. Be Blessed! Happy Holidays to you, too!🙏🙏💞💞
Can I use cake flour instead of regular flour?
Yes, absolutely you can NM. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Nice Nice
Ms Meso, please comeback and this recipe is The Truth.
Awwww T Blue, thanks for missing me when I'm not here! Thanks for watching and many blessings to you. Happy holidays and stay safe.
When to put the icyin on
Let the cake cool at least 90 minutes before icing. Just make sure that to the touch you feel no warmth. Blessings.
From your recioe it looks like this is a really really sweet cake. Is it a way to adjust the sugar maybe use sweeten sugars. What you think?
Carolyn, I think you could drop the amount of sugar by about a half to 3/4 cup and of course you could add back in another kind of sweetener be it artificial or natural. Actually, a better way might be to eliminate or cut down on the icing because the cake itself is not all that sweet. Be blessed
Looks good qq! In loving this channel!
+jvauss Hey JVauss .... it is really good and easy too. I hope you make it sometime. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Blessings.
