Yummy! 🥫 My mom used to make this, she's in her '80s now, and she would always cut a thick slice and put a few spoonfuls of her thawed out fresh frozen strawberries or sliced peaches in their own juice and drizzle it over top of it with whipped cream.. ❤️

[@gloriajohnson8762]

It looks amazing. I’m glad you explained why you don’t use baking powder (because of the eggs). Thank you so much.

[@marilynkillingworth]

Pretty cake❤

Love Mama's hands ❤️❤️

Good Morning, Mrs. Linda . Your pound cake looks delicious . And so pretty . I wrote The Recipe down . Thanks for sharing . The Lord Bless Both Of You .

[@lynnwilliams5649]

Looks very good...I’ll be making this. Thank you!

[@cindyp.7123]

Omg. I can taste this cake. My favorite is the almond flavoring. I just bought a new KitchenAid mixer and this may be the first cake I’ll make with it. Your mixer was awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

[@phyllisbakercoffman8988]

Oh, that looks amazing!!! Thank you, Linda 💕

[@seritaagee5333]

Thanks I'm definitely going to give this a try and I know I'm going to be pleased

[@MiaSonoma]

That is so cool. I knew pound cakes was a pound-a, pound-a, pound-a but I’ve never seen one being made. Thank you. My mom had a Sara Lee pound cake in the freezer at all times - I never could figure out what the brown top layer was...now I do 🤗 thanks!

[@lilaudrey8]

My Mother in law gave me this recipe years ago with just the ingredients. Sooooo good!

[@joannejennings7649]

Happy to have found your channel. Didn't know the eggs made it rise, since no soda or baking powder. Going to bake this one this weekend, since I have all of the ingredients.

[@CassielovesYahusha]

Oh that looks so good! I have to try!

[@Awebb5355]

This cake is beautiful! That would be good with baked ham and coffee for breakfast! LoL I hope you and Sam have a blessed day all day long! ☮️💖🙏

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Barb! It's good to hear from you. You'll love this cake so I hope you try it. TFW God bless!!

[@beckyhines3814]

I love pound cake. I haven't made it in years. Use to take it to family reunions for years. Oh have a little good news. My youngest brother has adopted his first foster son. He has to wait a few months for the other boy. They both are autistic. But my brother has patience like no one else has. I'm so happy for him. I also have finally got my car into the shop. Hopefully be driving soon. Good hearing you again. Thinking about you the other day.

[@Handsthatcook]

It's always good to hear good news and you're overdue!! Take care Becky!! God bless!

[@beckyhines3814]

@@Handsthatcook way over due. ❤

[@deewinston5651]

This looks so delicious! I’m definitely going to try. I made a recipe similar for Mother’s Day, but I think your recipe is more like my Aunt’s. So I might make it tomorrow for the weekend. Thanks so much for sharing.🥰💐

[@dorishodge4451]

I have a recipe that's very similar to this as well. It's delish! I love to bake and am a gadget girl. I always had a problem pouring flour , sugar, etc into my mixer while it was running and not getting a significant amount on the counter. I found these bowls and measuring cups called Pourfect bowls that have a nice spout that fits right over the edge of your Kitchenaid bowl so you don't waste a thing. I love mine. Got mine several yrs ago from a catalog, but I bet Amazon has them, in case anyone else has the same problem I did.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Doris, Thank you for the information. The only place I've found that sells these bowls is eBay and I'm no longer a member but I would really like the 1-2-4 set. If you say they work, I'm sure they do!! TFW God bless!!

[@dsinavich5141]

[@Handsthatcook]

You can do it Angie! I hope all is well with you and the family!! TFW God bless

[@LYserena]

Omggg this looks so good

[@PzTV]

Have you ever tried using buttermilk and adding some nutmeg to this cake...just wondering?

[@Handsthatcook]

No I haven't I just baked it according to the directions. I'll have to try that!! TFW God bless

[@LiberaceProtege]

Linda, can this be made without a stand mixer, with just a hand mixer?

[@Handsthatcook]

Yes Steve, it can be made with a hand mixer. Hope you're doing well!!! TFW God bless!

[@LiberaceProtege]

@@Handsthatcook Doing real good thanks. After being inspired by all your great videos I've made an Italian pot roast, a tomato pie, a blooming onion and a really delicious lemons & oranges creme cake (!!!) amongst other endeavors! With your help and encouragement I am no longer intimidated by the kitchen and am comfortable in trying just about anything that looks delicious. I find that I learn a new thing or two each time I try a new recipe. Nothing beats experience, right? Thanks again Linda. p.s. after I've mastered cooking from you I plan to try my hand at Sam's joke telling.

[@teresaronga3530]

Hi Linda! That looks great! What a recipe! Where is your taste tester today? 😊💕💐lol

[@Handsthatcook]

He was already in bed...but he had some the next day!! TFW God bless!!!

[@cakemanal7021]

Hello Mrs. Linda, Awesome Pound Cake recipe!! Do you think this recipe could be used for a 3 layer cake as well ? Thank you ‼

[@Handsthatcook]

I don't see why not. Just watch your baking time. TFW God bless

[@sandrajenkins4555]

Hello, again Linda. I love your recipes. Can I use white lily or swans down cake flour? If so do I need to change the measurements of the flour? Thanks.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Sandra, do not change the flour measurements. They should remain the same.. TFW God bless

[@sandrajenkins4555]

@@Handsthatcook Thanks. Have a great weekend and stay safe.

[@johnmack1066]

A long time ago I did this pound cake 1pound butter but 12 eggs got this out a magazine a black lady said it was her grandmother recipe but she add lemon zest 2tlb no juice .

[@Handsthatcook]

How did it taste?

[@carolineconnor2156]

Hi Linda! Just watched this video.. do you put your tube pan on a cookie sheet when baking? Thank you for this recipe!💕😘❤️

[@Handsthatcook]

No, I don't usually need to but there are times I wish I had!! TFW God bless!!!

[@carolineconnor2156]

Thank you

[@zwatch2754]

I see that air fryer back there, lol .. Are we gonna get some good recipes for it too?

[@Handsthatcook]

I have a few on my channel...look for doughnuts in an air fryer....you'll love them! TFW God bless!!

[@pamelacraig2791]

Your tube pan looks very thick & heavier than mine. Since mine is thinner, maybe less cooking time?

[@Handsthatcook]

I think the bake time will remain the same but you can check it early if you think you need to. TFW God bless!!

[@darleneguild9660]

Do you do anything different for higher elevations? I live in Colorado.

[@Handsthatcook]

I'm sure there are changes...you'll have to look that one up because I'm not familiar with it. TFW God bless!!

[@rhonda2929]

Looking good , how in the world do you not get overweight? I love your recipes so much . Not fair ,wish we had taste-a-vision.😂 And God bless you as well 🙏✝️🕊️🙂

[@Handsthatcook]

You give away to neighbors and family. TFW God bless!

[@kimcrouse3236]

Was that salted butter? Either way, what brand you use?

[@Handsthatcook]

Yes it is salted Walmart brand....you'll love this cake!! TFW God bless

[@cookingwithtonya1269]

Hi Linda.. the cake looks amazing why is it called vintage pound cake??? I thought it was a million dollar cake

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Tonya, vintage means it's an old recipe. The title IS Million Dollar Pound Cake. TFW God bless!

[@lilaudrey8]

Sometimes mine doesnt have the crunch. Anyone know why?

[@Handsthatcook]

I believe it has something to do with the amount of sugar in the cake. TFW God bless!
