I have been looking for a good pound cake recipe. I have tried several but they always seem dry or have no flavor. I am gonna try this one tonight for dessert. As far as everything else we are discussing. I found this forum a few months ago. I have since visited everyday. One of the things that attracts me to these forums is that people want to share with each other not only recipes, but stories and pics of their families. It seems to me like alot of people consider this a "little family" and want to share a little of their lives. Maybe we should start a forum where we can share family stories and pics.....Or is there already one I am not aware of?

Yup, you're good to go. If it were something that didn't have so much butter in it already and you were worried about richness you could add a teaspoon of melted butter to the milk, but in this case, you're quite covered. Looks good. We love pound cake. I like it toasted then..buttered. LOL

I have this recipe saved but don't know who posted it. Hope this helps Blueberry Cake 3 beaten eggs ½ Cup melted butter or margarine 2 cups sugar ½ tsp Almond Extract ½ tsp vanilla 3 cups flour 4 1/2 tsp.Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 3/4 Cup Milk 2 1/2 Cups Blueberries Method Beat eggs; add melted butter, sugar and almond - vanilla flavoring; beat well. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and add alternately with milk to make smooth batter. Fold in Wild Blueberries. Pour into a well greased and floured tube cake pan. (Wild Blueberries make a much better cake) Bake at 350 F for about 60 minutes. Cool and ice with "Cream Cheese Frosting". :----------------------------------------- Cream Cheese Frosting 1 small pack of cream cheese 1/4 cup butter 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla blend well to make soft icing and cover the cake. Not a pound cake but a bundt cake. Linda

I think I am going to try 1/4 tsp almond extract with the vanilla next time. If you add just a little almond extract so that you aren't sure if it is in the recipe or not, it will make cakes taste richer. I am making it again for my sister's birthday in a week. I sent her home with a sample after Thanksgiving dinner. She likes it too and suggested that for her birthday cake. Three years ago, she mentioned to me that she had not had a cake for her birthday since she left home in 1960. I was astounded, but I know her husband does not eat sweets, so I should have investigated. So now I bake a cake and bring it along when we celebrate her birthday with a girls' lunch out and gifts.
