My only change was to leave out the pecans since we were out. This was a wonderful tasting cake but it was so small! I would definetly double the recipe to fit into a normal bundt/tube pan. It doesn't rise much and barely filled the bottom half of my pan. I also had to add 10 minutes to the cooking time. I would probably bake this again but just double the recipe and really watch the cook time. This is more like 6/8 servings not 14!!
Like others I eliminated the pecans and baked in a loaf pan. If you bake in a loaf pan bump up the temp to 350 and cook for an hour. I wanted a more lemony flavor so I added a teaspoon of lemon extract and I also added some cornstarch to the flour to make it cake flour. This is definitely a drier pound cake... about the texture of a scone. But that's perfect for serving with strawberries and whipped cream or some other fruit that's been macerated.
I found this recipe trying to replace a lost one. Omitted the nuts which weren't in old recipe and baked in 9-inch Bundt pan (smaller than the usual one). You could use a 9 x 5 loaf pan also. There were 12 generous servings with peaches and whipped cream.
This was a really good lemon pound cake. It was really lemoney and My whole family loved it.
This was the first cake I baked from scratch. It was excellent. However next time I will try it without the pecans.
If you only have the standard size bundt pan this is going to come out a strange size. In the end I thought it was perfect for a tea. If you want a more traditional look double the recipe or use a loaf pan. I loved the flavor and would definitely make this again.
Thanks to cookin'mama for the tip on the pan. I used a loaf pan and this turned out well. I didn't change a thing about the recipe itself. It is great and hubby the pecan lover happily gave it 5 stars. Thanks for the post.
A very tasty lemony cake enjoyed by all who ate it.And will be made time and time again in our house now great recipe.
Baked this for my mom for Mother's Day. She loves my pound cakes; this one in particular is a favorite now because it tends to be a bit dry. She favours dry pastry such as Stella D'oro or biscotti cookies. A very nice gift for someone you love. I really liked the icing!
Icing was way too lemony tasting will add less lemon juice if I make again
