This was the first pound cake I ever made. Everyone loved it. Thank you!

[@memesrecipessc]

Great job! That’s wonderful!!😋👍🏻🙂❤️

[@lillianschaffer5846]

Just put it together and stuck it in the oven. I’m going to make an orange sugar glaze to drizzle on top afterwards. I’m excited to see how it comes out. Thank you so much for your videos

[@Eman-bx1yb]

Does the outer layer form a crust or stay soft? I tasted a slice once where the outside was like a cookie and inside was so soft. Still looking for a recipe like that!

[@janail-is8dd]

My stepfather loved pound cake. When I bake one I’d call Mom to tell I was coming over with the cake and my stepfather would be waiting at the door for me with a fork and plate! 😊

[@memesrecipessc]

Love that!

[@sushicourier]

Just a tip for everyone: FIVE EXTRA LARGE EGGS as MeMe used here (as the recipe is written) is the same as SIX LARGE EGGS. I had this confirmed from several other websites. So, for those who normally buy only large eggs, add an extra egg. I've made this DELICIOUS cake twice now using 6 large eggs and it looks identical to the one baked here. And the taste is terrific! 😊

[@memesrecipessc]

Great tip! I know some people use fresh eggs and they have to add a sixth also.

[@barbarabenware9701]

I just found your wonderful video tonight! First off, I love how your last words are " Shine for Jesus"!! The recipe for Cold Oven Pound Cake has been a staple in my family for Birthdays and Holidays for YEARS..The only addition in the recipe I use is 1t lemon extract, 1t almond extract and the vanilla extract. Maybe try it sometime and see what you think? Keep on Shining for Jesus!

[@pamelaconrad1498]

Thank you for your comment with the additional extracts! I have been trying to duplicate my grandmother's recipe for years (I knew it included almond but could never get it quite right) and the vanilla, lemon and almond together is perfect!

[@JulieR73]

Meme my mother-in-law made a wonderful pound cake and she also always had one made and on her counter. I loved it so much with her sweet tea. It brought back memories when you mentioned always having one on your counter. Actually a lot of the things you do and cook remind me of her. She was one of the best cooks I’ve ever known. I love your videos!

[@memesrecipessc]

Thanks for sharing and for watching!!

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

That pound cake looks like perfection! Love how you keep one baked and on your counter. Bet family and friends enjoy that “ fixture” of your home! I bet a bit of homemade lemon curd would be divine with the cake! But just as is I am sure is heavenly.

[@memesrecipessc]

You are right... the kids always know they can snag a slice!

[@cathyking8013]

I can't thank you enough for this recipe. My British husband has never been fond of pound cake. Well me being born and raised in the South I love pound cake. Made yours and my husband just loves it. This is another winner. You showed how to bake rice in the oven and what a dream come true that was. It is perfect. I will never boil rice again.

Meme, this is a wonderfully delicious fluffy pound cake. Made it for the first time today on 9/11/2023 for my husbands 67th birthday on the 14th. Well, I love it! I added 1/2 tsp. baking powder along with a 1/4 tsp of baking soda. This is now my go to recipe for Pound Cake. Thank you so much for sharing, I am so happy. xoxox

Your cooking videos bring me such much joy. You remind me of a good friend I had who was older than me and I would just love to sit in her kitchen and watch her cook and tell me stories. She would always be dress so pretty dress like you and took pride in her cooking, lifestyle and her love for Jesus. She has passed on and I miss her so, but watching you brings back good memories.

Love this! I grew up in SC and there was always pound cake on the counter at my Grammy's house. She is from Mississippi but her recipes are similar. She puts cream cheese in her pound cake.

[@memesrecipessc]

Sounds delicious!

[@jw77019]

Yes the culture is the same from east Texas up through Virginia. It seems Alabama and Mississippi get all the blame, but Texas fought two wars over slavery. Most states just fought one. If someone disagrees, look up the resolution to secede passed by SC and the other confederate states. It’s not debatable.

[@Designsyn7]

My mamma always toasted it in the broiler with butter and coconut flakes

I got your cookbook and made the pound cake today. The recipe calls for 1/4 tsp. of baking powder in the book but I noticed that you did not include it in the batter on the video. So, should I include it or not. Thanks so much! Love your cookbook and your channel! 💕

Meme you remind me of Betty White I loved her she was a good actress I loved her on Mary Tyler Moore show and Mama's family and The Golden Girls.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I loves your delicious 😋🤤 recipes.

[@memesrecipessc]

Wow, thank you

[@Youngmom68]

Ok just pulled it out of the oven. I have a silicone Bundt pan, which was a bit small for the whole recipe so I made that and a small one. The small one finished first. It’s a really good cake. The texture is different from other pound cakes. First, there is no baking soda nor baking powder or salt. The whipping (the 10 minutes) I think makes the cake lighter so it’s not as dense as a regular pound cake. We all tasted it and we all like it.

[@memesrecipessc]

Wonderful!😋🙂❤️

[@pinkladylisaa5677]

Between this cake and the Pineapple Sunshine Cake I think my husband will be a happy man. I would like to start keeping a pound cake on hand, I have a friend from church who is going through a tough time and I think I am going to invite her over for some tea and pound cake.

I made this for company coming this weekend. Followed directions to the letter, even was proud I had Pam to spray in my pan. It broke apart when I tried to remove it from the pan. It wasn't dry, just stuck to the pan. Now I'll figure out another dessert. Unless I can save 1/2 of it.

@@memesrecipessc that would be amazing! I followed the recipe you sent me, thankyou.i was hoping to send you a beautiful photo but i had a couple issues. Firstly, i think my bundt pan is smaller than yours but that was easily fixed by making a smaller cake as well but! when i unmolded the cake, there was a sugary crust that fell off! I couldnt understand where i went wrong and then i realised that Au cups and US cups are a different measurement so i added a whole extra 1/2 cup of sugar, and basically measured everything incorrectly that threw the whole recipe out. When i get the ebook. I will make sure i measure things out by the ml and not by the cup. I cannot wait for the ebook Meme, thankyou for being so kind to send me the recipe
