I have searched and searched for a recipe for a good pound cake. I found a recipe for Aunt Ruths Pound Cake. I baked two cakes with this recipe for this 2011 Thanksgiving. The cakes were dense, soft, and very creamy. The flavors of the cakes were out of this world. When ever you can eat cake right out of the frig. without warming it up in the microwave oven you know you got a good cake. This recipe will be my basic for every vanilla cake that I will ever make.

This was also my grandmothers pound cake recipe.

Every one loved her pound cake with some of her homemade fresh peach or vanilla ice cream.

She would always tell us how important it wa to have you ingredients at room temp.

The night before she made this cake she would put out her cup of milk (covered), butter, shortening, eggs on the sink.

She mostly used the vanilla and almond flavoring but would sometimes add the lemon with some lemon zest.

She made a 7 minute frosting for this cake, and I tell you it was heaven

We could not stop eating this cake and of course there would be nothing for the next day which was usually a Monday.

That was the day she would make her red beans and rice, and wash & hang her sheets and towles out on the cloths line.

She would make a tossed salad with her home made French dressing, and corn bread or muffins, and it was a meal fit for a king!

Thank you for posting this recipe!

I wanted to try some one else pound cake other than my family southern poud cake I found that this cake was real light and fluffy nice & buttery but a little to sweet & light for a true old fashion southern pound cake it should be yellow and less sweet and a little heavy but all and all it was good.

I figured out the problem, I was looking at the wrong recipe. it is Grandma Hill’s Plain cake that I originally wanted. But now I will be trying Aunt Ruth’s pound cake.

Thank you so much for your great recipes!

This was delicious. I have shared this with numerous friends. Very easy to make and the directions were easy to follow.
