Bobby Maxwell's gramma sent him a pound cake every month while we were in Vietnam, he shared some with us and I got hooked. Fast forward 50 years and my mom started making pound cake for with lemon flavoring and lemon glaze. Mom's gone now so I guess I have break down and make my own. Thank you, Danielle for showing how to do it!
Hi Danielle... I’m a 65 year old women who has not baked in over 45 years due to a terrible experience making a pound cake.. Since this pandemic I discovered that I wanted to try to make a pound cake again..I looked at several videos on RUclips and ran cross yours and I figured if I was gonna do something... I really wanna do it at my best and from what I can see you definitely had a simple and easy way to make a pound cake....I followed your instructions to the tee and can tell you it came out fabulous..My husband loves pound cakes and he’s always buying it outside and now he’s able to eat it in the house.. homemade by his wife..He loved it..I just wanna thank you very much and please continue to make these awesome videos and I will definitely follow along..
@@kimmclucas2672 Hi, I am not so sure what kind of flour she used, but I did hear her say Plain Flour. White Lilly is a good Plain flour to use. But I would imagine, any would do as long as you ass the right amount of baking powder and salt. I hope this infor help you with the question of what type flour. Happy baking.
Danielle. I just want to say thank you so much, for this Simple poundcake recipe. I made this poundcake for Thanksgiving, Christmas, now Resurrection day for Easter. I know your grandma is proud of you!!! Her poundcake recipe is not in vain. Glory Hallelujah 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 You have so many grandma's now and I'm one of them.❤ We will never be able to compare with her. I know you are loved AMEN 🙏🏽💗🙏🏽
Sooo glad to see I'm not the only baker who just flat-out ignores the "do not eat raw batter" message! I was always given the bowl & beaters as a kid so, of course, when I bake & there's small ones about, they already know Auntie's gonna share the tools 😋 (and when there's no little ones around, then it's still up to yours truly to enjoy all that goodness!) Been doing it 40+ years & I'm still kicking (and baking)! LOL 😆🤣😂
After it's baked we get from there thank you! That is exactly how my Grandmother did it as well, And I had the privilege of scooping the bowl clean too. That's real Southern black American tradition .
I had never attempted to bake a pound cake before,so my husband wanted cake and i went on RUclips to find a cake recipe, am so glad i came across this video,i have baked a few pound cakes so far! They all turn out great and delicious! My family loves the cakes every time i bake,as i type i have one in the oven 😋 😊😊 . Thank you so much for sharing your grandmother's recipe,its truly a blessing 🙌
It is gratififying to find someone who, besides sharing a recipe, also gives a detailed description of amounts required etc. and good instructions to follow. Congratulations to you.
I just baked this for my husband. Was the first pound cake I’ve ever made. It came out perfectly, so moist and tastes amazing!! Thank you so much!! He loves it!!
I have made plenty of pound cakes and when I tell you this was THE best pound cake I’ve ever made! The extra stick of butter, the 6th egg and the extra flavor truly made the difference!! Thank you!
This recipe changed my life forever. I want to thank your grandmother and you for making this video and sharing her recipe with the world. This poundcake is perfect. Light, moist and flavorful. 10/10 chefs kiss and family function approved!!!!
@@anthonyjohnikins7959 Update: So I made this poundcake 6 days ago. I stored it in a large Tupperware container on the counter and my family has been eating off of it gradually. My cousin came over today and cut a slice (unprompted), the first thing he said was wow this is so good and moist. 6 days later ya'll!!!!! If that isn't proof that this recipe is the bomb, I don't know what else to say.
Hi Danielle, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your grandmother’s delicious recipe with us. I did make this cake, and I have to say, this recipe was a hit with my family!!! The cake was very moist and buttery!!! It’s almost gone already. I will be making this again.👍🏾💗💕
Thank You, I loved my Granny also. She lived with us so it was like I had two mothers. I still miss her and cry for her, I hope she knew how much I loved her. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I tried this recipe and my husband said that it was the best cake I had ever made. I was so amazed because i am not a baker but the recipe is so simple and Danielle did a great job about giving good directions on how to make it
I agree with you all, Danielle's instructions are very easy to follow and well demonstrated. I surely will be following her channel for other recipes as well. Stay safe & be always blessed everyone🤗
I want to make one of my grandmother's old recipes that she called "refrigerator cake". It's essentially a custard and pound cake trifle with canned fruit cocktail. She always used a store-bought pound cake. I want to make the pound cake from scratch. I looked at several recipes and yours just looks like the one with the most love in it!! ❤ Thank you for posting this even though I'm finding it 3 years later. I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!
My pound cakes are always hit or miss. Mostly misses. But babeee you and your grandmother nailed this. I followed your recipe and I was so proud of myself. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! For sharing.
Danielle, thank you so much for sharing this pound cake recipe. I’ve always been apprehensive about baking pound cakes… you don’t know if it’s right until it’s sliced. I followed every step of your recipe. It was easy and it turned out great! My family loved it! Wow, BIG THANKS to you and Grandmother for helping me be a better baker. Fabulous!
I convinced my sister to use your recipe. It’s been several months since she made her first. We can’t get enough of this cake. I love pound cake. I’m eating some right now literally.
I made this for a co-worker's birthday today. OMG everyone loved it. Thanks Danielle for the step by step video! It was AMAZING and easy to follow. I plan to make for future events :)
This is exactly how I make my lemon pound cake that I learned from my.best friends grandma. I use only 1 tbsp of vanilla to the rest of the lemon extract. If I'm making an ultimate lemon pound cake I'll add fresh squeezed lemon juice and sour cream for the extra moisture as well! Bomb!
Girl!!!! My Lord...I made this for Easter dinner dessert. Not one crumb was left. I made a lemon glaze and drizzled it over mine. This is hands down THEE best cake I have ever ever made.😋💕
Thank you for this video. We must have had the same grandmother. I use to watch her bake cakes every Saturday. I will always cherish such special memories!!!
You are so kind to share your grandmother's perfectected recipe. I can't wait to try this. I've been searching and searching for an authentic southern pound cake. You seem to "get it"!! Thank you so much! 💕
Girl you taught me something great! I love to cook, this was my first cake from scratch! I usually use box cake and I’m in tears because I appreciate you! Thank you it came out perfect! Shared your video with my mother and took pictures of my cake for her to see… she can’t wait to try your recipe. And thank you to your grandmother too. It’s all love ❤️
Danielle, you brought back memories of my great-grand mother baking me a lemon pound cake in Atlanta, Texas. She always baked me cake when I came for a visit because she knew i LOVED her pound cake. Lord knows I miss that woman. Thank you.
I’m 17 and made my first cake my family loved it lol. They thought it wasn’t gonna be the best cause I’m usually not they chef but now they waiting for me to make another lol . Thank you
This brings back memories of my Granny; she use to "dust" it with confectioners sugar, I myself add milk and confectioners sugar and drizzle it over the cake; either way it's a delicious cake!!!
keep coming back here then, Trey! I've got a BUNCH of folks that I follow, and Danielle LaShawn is one of my favorites...didn't realize I liked baking cakes as much as I do, but now...I find myself baking one every week (or weekend), eating a couple of slices & taking the rest to the office where I share it (basically it's 3/4 of a cake, but it's better than keeping the entire thing at home & demolishing it by myself!) 😜
Hello Danielle...Yesterday was my first time baking a homemade pound cake and I used your grandmother's recipe she passed down to you and I must say it was absolutely delicious. My friends and family loved it💖 Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!
I have to write a review: I'm from the south (GA) my family have always cooked cakes and pies from scratch but my grannie never shared her recipe. Pound cake is my favorite. I've tried several recipes and failed. Cakes have always been a challenge for me because I've had some of the best desserts. This is my fourth try. I finally succeeded! Thank you a million and one times for sharing your grandmother's recipe. 😘😇
I’m 67 year old love this recipe. This is my third time making this recipe. I could never do this scratch pound cake until I follow your recipe and it turn out great and delicious. My husband loves it❤So every time I need to make a pound cake I pull up your recipe So keep up the good work!!!
Omg girl! I have been looking for the recipe my grandmother used and I do believe this is it! Thanks for all the tips...it turned out fabulous and just like I remember from my early years! Blessings to you and yours!
So happy you are sharing your Grandmother’s recipe! The hours you spent in the kitchen with her is reflected in this cake. From a Southern girl who grew up with both grandmothers not liking to cook, I’m humbled to try a recipe from a beloved grandmother. Thank you.
I was looking for a good old fashioned pound cake and I’m glad that I came across your channel. I will be making this for two peoples on Thanksgiving. Will let you know how they both turned out. Thanks for sharing your Grandma recipe to us. She’s definitely is smiling down upon you. May she R.I.H🕊️❤️
Greetings Hun, just need to say that this is the best pound cake recipe I have ever come across. Respect to Gm, I am a senior 74 blessed years so trust me I know a good recipe when I come across one. My family absolutely loves this cake, I make it on a regular basis like every other week. On son requests one for his buddies at work and believe me they do be waiting. I love to add pecans. I know you can play around with this recipe but I find it's amazing just as it is. Thank you sugar!! Oh and my grands love the bowl and spoon lol May you and family be blessed.
I'm teaching myself how to cook and I love cooking videos like this! Great job explaining each step and also including the measurements of each ingredient, (which a lot of cooking videos don't do). Thank you for making your video clear and easy to follow!
Just made it using your measurements and instructions except I just had the oven at 325. I saw so many recipes use that temperature and just kept it in about an hour 20 minutes. Perfect! This is a great recipe, thank you so much for sharing and walking through it.
I followed the recipe right along with you. My cake ran over in the first 10 minutes. Maybe I should have baked mine at 335 too. I’m not sure if I’ll try in again.
@@LoveForTheCurly I had that same thought. I’m not giving up. I’m going to make it again, but divide the batter. I will get this recipe and my cake will look and taste delicious. The batter was delicious so in time so will be the finished product. Thanks
Good Morning Guhl, I baked this for the first time a month ago and it was so good my Husband sent me a text to say “that cake was perfect.” So, here I am in the kitchen baking it again because it is his Birthday and this is what he wanted. It reminds him of his Grandmother’s pound cake. Thank you, Enjoy your Blessings!,,,
Danielle girl listen I made this pound cake today . I carefully followed your instructions and O my goodness a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely delicious ! I will make this one again and again. Thanks sooooo much.
Perfect, instructions with all the ingredients, I can't wait to try this Wednesday for Thanksgiving. I'm subscribed and following you. Thank you and Grandma.
Stumbled upon your video and decided to follow along and bake one with you. This was by far the best pound cake I have ever made. It is still warm, but I just had to slice into it. It is so moist!! It is supposed to be for church tomorrow, so I had to squeeze it back together 😂 to hide the missing slice. Thank you so much for sharing. You have made your grandma proud. 🙌🏽
Your Grand Mother would be so proud of you girl, that is a good looking cake. Pound cake has always been my favorite. I'm going to bake one tomorrow using your recipe! 💖
@@DanielleLaShawn I baked it today Danielle, and had a lemon cream cheese icing on top. 1hr and 5 min @ 350 degrees. OH my Lord was it good !!!!!!! It reminds me of growing up hanging around in the kitchen with my Grandmother too. Thank you for this fine recipe. 👍
Danielle. Thank you soooo much for the pound cake recipe. I am gluten free and I made your grandmother’s recipe. It worked out wonderfully with brown rice, potato starch and arrowroot flour. It was nice and moist and that generally doesn’t happen when u convert a recipe to gluten free. The cake was G 🎈R🎈E🎈A🎈T. THANK YOU🎈🎈
I finally made it tonight, 2 1/4 sugar worked well for me. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing. You were the best host to show how to make a pound cake.
I made this last week and it was soooo good! I'm from S.C. and this definitely tasted just like my grandma's pound cake. This is now my favorite recipe! Thanks so much for sharing.
This is my first time ever making a pound cake from scratch. It came out perfect. Thanks to your recipe and instructions. Your grandma taught you very well.
Your Grandma did a wonderful wonderful job... That's the exact way I learned how to make pound cake. Yours looks so delicious 😋. Thank you for the video and bringing back heartfelt moments ❤
I have followed this recipe to the “T” a least 4 times and this cake comes out perfect EVERY single time! My husband loves loves loves this cake! I use only Almond Extract. Thanks for sharing!😊
Ma’am! I had to find your video again so I could say thank you. I was skeptical about using the two diff flavors for the flavoring. Babeeeeee when I say I’m thankful for this recipe. I pray you get blessed for sharing this! Please read this in a classy ratchet voice ☺️
Danielle I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful recipe!! I made this with my Granddaughter on News Years Day and it was perfect!!! I followed your directions to the T. Thank you for helping me make a beautiful memory with my Granddaughter
Truth be told, this was the fourth pound cake recipe that I have tried. For whatever reason the others 3 recipes just did not work for me. But when I tell you this cake came out perfect. Y'all just don't know. I was texting everybody. Taking pictures of my cake. Like so proud. Thank you so much!
Most definitely not. I cook for a living. And I got all of that for my grandma as well. But baking, is a whole different world. She baked from time to time but my grandfather had diabetes so she didn't make that often. And she was trying not to kill him. But you keep posting, and I'll keep trying.😊
Thanks for this recipe! You have shared a piece of your grandmother with us and I share a piece of her as well by making this pound cake every friday for my sabbath class on saturday. Bless your heart!
I'm not a baker at all. Tried your recipe and my mother and family really loved it. I was able to get her approval and it made me so proud. Thank you so much!
My mom and grandma would make this exactly like you did...oh...man...it was spectacular when it was still warm from the oven! I live with my aging mom now and I can't wait to make this recipe with her. This way she can remember it and add her own special-ness to it! She was quite the cook and and baker! Thank You! "SAVED"
Let me tell you hunny, this cake is fabulously delicious. I made it and I’m making one today for my coworker and my daughter🤗🤗🤗 Thank you gmom and granddaughter
Memories are priceless, especially those with your elders. I had the pleasure of being in the kitchen with my dear Mother, my Grandmother and my Great Grandmother. #PreciousMemories. Same great memories when my mother would let us have the bowl and the spoon when she baked a cake...scrumptious! Your cake looks delicious and your batter looks dreamy good!
I have faith in this recipe. I have been searching for something that's going to be nice and moist. I hope my wife likes it, because baking is a hobby that I just started in December 2022. Bless you!
Made this for my husband's birthday and it was perfection! I loved the video, too. Clear directions and fun commentary (all the extract is the bomb!! :)) Thanks for a great video and a delicious recipe!
I tried this recipe which has now become my new favorite 😊. I used buttermilk instead of evaporated or regular milk. I also cut back on the salt to 1/2 teaspoon vs a full tsp. Otherwise I absolutely looove the brown soft crumbly crust after it's baked. Thank you for sharing your family tradition with ours. God Bless you all and ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I have a two piece bundle cake pan, and to prevent leaking I separate the peices and put parchment paper at the bottom and then put the pan back together. It helps to seal from leaking. Thanks again.
I made it it came out perfect! I was so proud of myself. I made probbaly five pound cakes this year. Most of them fell apart. This is the first one to come out the bundt pan perfectly. My issue was too much Bakers Joy. I finally got it right. So thank you 😊
First off this video is perfect. I literally was able to play the video and do everything step by step as you did it! My batter tasted like vinalla ice cream lol and the cake was BEYOND AMAZING! I will be bringing this for Thanksgiving!!! 🎉❤
Having the bowl and utensils are a must in our home. My children fought over them tonight I was making sweet potato 🍠 pie filling. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you ! 😊
Ok so I didn't make the cake like I said I would but I did however make it 2 days ago for my son's and play daughter's graduation party and everyone loved it. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I will be making this from now on.
Thank you very much for this video and your Grandmothers recipe!... I am going to try and make it for my boyfriend for Christmas, he has been talking about a pound cake since thanksgiving!!!
OMG! Thank you so much for this recipe. I used to help my grandmother make this cake. I lost all of her recipes. I knew all of the ingredients but not the measurements. When I saw the lemon and vanilla flavor, along with the number of eggs, and butter, I knew this was the right one. I could remember the amount of butter, eggs, sugar, and flavors but nothing else. I began to come back as I read your ingredients. She would use 2 tablespoons of vanilla and one tablespoon of lemon so it would taste less like a lemon pound cake. I have yet to find her caramel frosting recipe. Thank you again.

Hello Danielle...Yesterday was my first time baking a homemade pound cake and I used your grandmother's recipe she passed down to you and I must say it was absolutely delicious. My friends and family loved it💖 Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!
Wonderful! So happy you enjoyed it!
Delicious. I tried it and it came out perfect and was delicious. Everyone enjoyed it. You have made your grandmother proud.
Thank you!
You're welcome
I have to write a review: I'm from the south (GA) my family have always cooked cakes and pies from scratch but my grannie never shared her recipe. Pound cake is my favorite. I've tried several recipes and failed. Cakes have always been a challenge for me because I've had some of the best desserts. This is my fourth try. I finally succeeded! Thank you a million and one times for sharing your grandmother's recipe. 😘😇
You are so welcome! I'm so happy that it worked out for you. This recipe is meant to be shared and enjoyed. ☺️
@@DanielleLaShawn Yes it is. You have mad my family so happy 😊! Thank you.
Thank you for your support!
Too bad your granny didn't share. I try to pass my recipes on & my family, but, they want me to just make the cake.
My family does the same to me. Lol
You Sho Nuff Know What You’re Doing In The Kitchen. Many Blessings Upon You And Family Always.
Lol, thank you! Blessings to you as well.
This cake is phenomenal! I did change a couple of things just to put my own twist, but this is the best pound cake recipe I've come across.
Yes I’m 76 yr old and every time I make something I think about my Mama and she always let me lick the bowl……..Great memories….Thank you God Bless
I’m 67 year old love this recipe. This is my third time making this recipe. I could never do this scratch pound cake until I follow your recipe and it turn out great and delicious. My husband loves it❤So every time I need to make a pound cake I pull up your recipe So keep up the good work!!!
Omg girl! I have been looking for the recipe my grandmother used and I do believe this is it! Thanks for all the tips...it turned out fabulous and just like I remember from my early years! Blessings to you and yours!
You are so welcome! I'm happy you found it and were able to recreate a recipe from your childhood.
So happy you are sharing your Grandmother’s recipe! The hours you spent in the kitchen with her is reflected in this cake.
From a Southern girl who grew up with both grandmothers not liking to cook, I’m humbled to try a recipe from a beloved grandmother. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy it!
I tried this recipe today, it turned out great. Thank you for sharing your grandmother’s pound cake.
You're welcome!
Hello Danielle. Im a 54yr old male. Have not baked in a while. Your pound cake recipe was fire. Made it for my mother-in-law. Fire. Thank you. Darren
Love to hear that! So glad you liked it!
I was looking for a good old fashioned pound cake and I’m glad that I came across your channel. I will be making this for two peoples on Thanksgiving. Will let you know how they both turned out. Thanks for sharing your Grandma recipe to us. She’s definitely is smiling down upon you. May she R.I.H🕊️❤️
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!
@ Your welcome. Thanks❤️
Greetings Hun, just need to say that this is the best pound cake recipe I have ever come across. Respect to Gm, I am a senior 74 blessed years so trust me I know a good recipe when I come across one. My family absolutely loves this cake, I make it on a regular basis like every other week. On son requests one for his buddies at work and believe me they do be waiting. I love to add pecans. I know you can play around with this recipe but I find it's amazing just as it is. Thank you sugar!! Oh and my grands love the bowl and spoon lol May you and family be blessed.
Love to hear that! I'm so glad your family enjoys his cake as much as mine does.
I'm teaching myself how to cook and I love cooking videos like this! Great job explaining each step and also including the measurements of each ingredient, (which a lot of cooking videos don't do). Thank you for making your video clear and easy to follow!
You're welcome!
Well
Done 👏🏾
She SURE did . excellent 👌 job
❤
Just made it using your measurements and instructions except I just had the oven at 325. I saw so many recipes use that temperature and just kept it in about an hour 20 minutes. Perfect! This is a great recipe, thank you so much for sharing and walking through it.
So happy it turned out for you! You're welcome!
I followed the recipe right along with you. My cake ran over in the first 10 minutes. Maybe I should have baked mine at 335 too. I’m not sure if I’ll try in again.
@@gelenaadams3545 maybe you filled the pan too much but I tried it and my coworkers and friends have loved it!
@@LoveForTheCurly I had that same thought. I’m not giving up. I’m going to make it again, but divide the batter. I will get this recipe and my cake will look and taste delicious. The batter was delicious so in time so will be the finished product.
Thanks
Hi. How much pounds is 3 sticks of butter?
Good Morning
Guhl, I baked this for the first time a month ago and it was so good my Husband sent me a text to say “that cake was perfect.” So, here I am in the kitchen baking it again because it is his Birthday and this is what he wanted. It reminds him of his Grandmother’s pound cake. Thank you, Enjoy your Blessings!,,,
Love it!!
God bless you for sharing your grandmother's greatness with us! Im making this tonight for my Man!😁
Any time!
Wow a beautiful cake!!! Grandma would be proud. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Danielle girl listen I made this pound cake today . I carefully followed your instructions and O my goodness a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely delicious ! I will make this one again and again. Thanks sooooo much.
You are so welcome! I'm so happy it worked out for you! 💕
Perfect, instructions with all the ingredients, I can't wait to try this Wednesday for Thanksgiving. I'm subscribed and following you. Thank you and Grandma.
I love the simplicity of this recipe so easy. Thank you. I think I'll make this cake for Thanksgiving.
That made me so happy! Thanks for sharing that. ❤️

I made a pound cake in a bunt pan lined with butter and sugar and my guests loved, said he would do the same next time he baked a cake. ALOHA
Yum! I've tried it with sugar before too. You can do flour or sugar and both turn out good. So happy the recipe worked out for you! 💜
Stumbled upon your video and decided to follow along and bake one with you. This was by far the best pound cake I have ever made. It is still warm, but I just had to slice into it. It is so moist!! It is supposed to be for church tomorrow, so I had to squeeze it back together 😂 to hide the missing slice. Thank you so much for sharing. You have made your grandma proud. 🙌🏽
"I had to squeeze it back together. . ." Yes!!! 😅😅😅❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊 I loved it. My first pound cake from scratch and my family loved it 😋 Thumbs up, Thumbs up
So happy you and your fam loved it!
Your Grand Mother would be so proud of you girl, that is a good looking cake. Pound cake has always been my favorite. I'm going to bake one tomorrow using your recipe! 💖
Thank you so much. I hope you love it!💕
@@DanielleLaShawn I baked it today Danielle, and had a lemon cream cheese icing on top. 1hr and 5 min @ 350 degrees. OH my Lord was it good !!!!!!! It reminds me of growing up hanging around in the kitchen with my Grandmother too. Thank you for this fine recipe. 👍
This cake recipe is sooo accurate and the best pound cake I’ve had. It turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your grandma’s recipe 🎂
You're welcome! ❤️
What is the oven tempature.
Danielle. Thank you soooo much for the pound cake recipe. I am gluten free and I made your grandmother’s recipe. It worked out wonderfully with brown rice, potato starch and arrowroot flour. It was nice and moist and that generally doesn’t happen when u convert a recipe to gluten free.
The cake was G 🎈R🎈E🎈A🎈T. THANK YOU🎈🎈
Wow! I'm so glad you were able to make that work. Clearly, you're a scientist in the kitchen. Lol good job!
I finally made it tonight, 2 1/4 sugar worked well for me. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing. You were the best host to show how to make a pound cake.
Thank you so much for trying it out and I'm so glad your family liked it.
Thank you for sharing your grandmother's recipe. Pound cake is my favorite cake, so I'm gonna try this recipe. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! 🎄💕
Do you really use 3 cups of sugar?? I would think that 1 cup of sugar is enough!
Which flour self rising or all purpose
I made this last week and it was soooo good! I'm from S.C. and this definitely tasted just like my grandma's pound cake. This is now my favorite recipe! Thanks so much for sharing.
You're so welcome! Love that it tastes like your grandma's recipe too. My gma was originally from SC.
This is my first time ever making a pound cake from scratch. It came out perfect. Thanks to your recipe and instructions. Your grandma taught you very well.
Great job! It looks picture perfect. Your so lucky your grandma poured all her love and knowledge in to you.
Thank you so much!
Your Grandma did a wonderful wonderful job... That's the exact way I learned how to make pound cake. Yours looks so delicious 😋. Thank you for the video and bringing back heartfelt moments ❤
Thank you! Folks in the comments have let me know that her way was unconventional... But it works! Lol
@@DanielleLaShawn ... I guess we're unconventional 🤣
I have followed this recipe to the “T” a least 4 times and this cake comes out perfect EVERY single time! My husband loves loves loves this cake! I use only Almond Extract. Thanks for sharing!😊
Lol, I'm so glad you guys like it. I like almond extract too but my kids don't so I don't use it 😩😩
@@DanielleLaShawnlooking at good
Ma’am! I had to find your video again so I could say thank you. I was skeptical about using the two diff flavors for the flavoring. Babeeeeee when I say I’m thankful for this recipe. I pray you get blessed for sharing this! Please read this in a classy ratchet voice ☺️
Oh, you already know I read it exactly how you meant it 😂😂 so glad you love it! 💕
Thank you Danielle! Followed this recipe to a T and my pound cake came out so perfect. Much appreciation to you and your grandma.
So glad it worked out 💕
Danielle
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful recipe!! I made this with my Granddaughter on News Years Day and it was perfect!!! I followed your directions to the T. Thank you for helping me make a beautiful memory with my Granddaughter
Love to hear that! You're welcome 😊
I am Sixty two years old and you took me back to my childhood thank you
Thanks for the, video.❤
So happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
Truth be told, this was the fourth pound cake recipe that I have tried. For whatever reason the others 3 recipes just did not work for me. But when I tell you this cake came out perfect. Y'all just don't know. I was texting everybody. Taking pictures of my cake. Like so proud. Thank you so much!
Lol, and people keep commenting that every recipe is the same. Apparently not! 💕
Most definitely not. I cook for a living. And I got all of that for my grandma as well. But baking, is a whole different world. She baked from time to time but my grandfather had diabetes so she didn't make that often. And she was trying not to kill him. But you keep posting, and I'll keep trying.😊
Very helpful explaining the whys of the process
Thanks for this recipe! You have shared a piece of your grandmother with us and I share a piece of her as well by making this pound cake every friday for my sabbath class on saturday. Bless your heart!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that. I'm so happy you all enjoy her pound cake. Her legacy lives on.
I have bake this cake several times and it is a great conversation piece Thanks Danielle/ your grandmom!!
I'm not a baker at all. Tried your recipe and my mother and family really loved it. I was able to get her approval and it made me so proud. Thank you so much!
So happy you guys enjoyed it!
My mom and grandma would make this exactly like you did...oh...man...it was spectacular when it was still warm from the oven! I live with my aging mom now and I can't wait to make this recipe with her. This way she can remember it and add her own special-ness to it! She was quite the cook and and baker! Thank You! "SAVED"
Awww, that's amazing! I hope you guys have a wonderful time baking this cake together.
Let me tell you hunny, this cake is fabulously delicious. I made it and I’m making one today for my coworker and my daughter🤗🤗🤗 Thank you gmom and granddaughter
Memories are priceless, especially those with your elders. I had the pleasure of being in the kitchen with my dear Mother, my Grandmother and my Great Grandmother. #PreciousMemories. Same great memories when my mother would let us have the bowl and the spoon when she baked a cake...scrumptious! Your cake looks delicious and your batter looks dreamy good!
I agree, those memories can't be replaced. Thank you so much!
Growing up, this was always our birthday cake. And licking the bowl was the best.
Licking the bowl has always been top tier! LOL
Thanks so much, my sister, for sharing..! I finally can bake my own. I owe it all to you! You're the best.!!!💞👍👏👏
🥰❤️
I always lick the spoon and I'm 66`!!! Thank you. I cannot wait to make this!
Lol! You can't not lick the spoon. 😋
It looks delicious, my favourite cake it looks so moist and not heavy. The best one I've seen yet.
Looks so good plain pound cake is my favorite , that's exactly how I like it , thank you so much it's also easy to follow.
It's definitely a favorite in my house.
I have faith in this recipe. I have been searching for something that's going to be nice and moist. I hope my wife likes it, because baking is a hobby that I just started in December 2022. Bless you!
Bless you too!
This reminds me of pound cake sister used to make! She passed few years ago & her recipe has been lost! TY & so glad I found your channel.
Made this for my husband's birthday and it was perfection! I loved the video, too. Clear directions and fun commentary (all the extract is the bomb!! :)) Thanks for a great video and a delicious recipe!
Great video, this will be my 1st cake from scratch. I like the way you walked us through the entire process, even the unmolding part.
Thank you! Trying to make it easy for even first timers to get it right. It's an easy recipe but it's also easy to mess up at several stages. Lol
I tried this recipe which has now become my new favorite 😊. I used buttermilk instead of evaporated or regular milk. I also cut back on the salt to 1/2 teaspoon vs a full tsp. Otherwise I absolutely looove the brown soft crumbly crust after it's baked. Thank you for sharing your family tradition with ours. God Bless you all and ❤❤
You're so welcome! 🥰
My mother in law made best pound cake in all of amite county Mississippi
Gosh I miss her so much
Amazing woman she was love 💘❤💕 her forever
I can't thank you enough. The cake was so delicious. I looked up to the heavens and thanked grandmother also.
Lol I'm glad you liked it! 🥰
Thank you for sharing. I have a two piece bundle cake pan, and to prevent leaking I separate the peices and put parchment paper at the bottom and then put the pan back together. It helps to seal from leaking. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Good idea. Thank you.
I made it it came out perfect! I was so proud of myself. I made probbaly five pound cakes this year. Most of them fell apart. This is the first one to come out the bundt pan perfectly. My issue was too much Bakers Joy. I finally got it right. So thank you 😊
You're welcome! I'm so happy it worked out.
TASTY
First off this video is perfect. I literally was able to play the video and do everything step by step as you did it! My batter tasted like vinalla ice cream lol and the cake was BEYOND AMAZING! I will be bringing this for Thanksgiving!!! 🎉❤
Yay! I'm so happy you liked it and it turned out well for you! 🥰
Now I miss my Big Ma 😢 the hours in the kitchen before dawn on Sunday watching her bake this cake and anticipating the mixing sticks/ bowl 🤤😂
Those are some of the best memories! ❤️
@@DanielleLaShawn yesss 🫶🏾
Having the bowl and utensils are a must in our home. My children fought over them tonight I was making sweet potato 🍠 pie filling. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you ! 😊
Yes! That was the best part! Lol
I've got all the ingredients for this cake in my kitchen. I will be making this tomorrow.
Ok so I didn't make the cake like I said I would but I did however make it 2 days ago for my son's and play daughter's graduation party and everyone loved it. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I will be making this from now on.
I know your grandmother would be so proud of you making her pound cake!!
Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video and your Grandmothers recipe!... I am going to try and make it for my boyfriend for Christmas, he has been talking about a pound cake since thanksgiving!!!
🤦🏽♀️my husband has been asking for over a week. Lol
OMG! Thank you so much for this recipe. I used to help my grandmother make this cake. I lost all of her recipes. I knew all of the ingredients but not the measurements. When I saw the lemon and vanilla flavor, along with the number of eggs, and butter, I knew this was the right one. I could remember the amount of butter, eggs, sugar, and flavors but nothing else. I began to come back as I read your ingredients. She would use 2 tablespoons of vanilla and one tablespoon of lemon so it would taste less like a lemon pound cake. I have yet to find her caramel frosting recipe. Thank you again.
Aww, that’s amazing! So glad you found it!
