I’ve made this 2x and really like it. I use only 1 tsp of vanilla but add 2 tsp of rum. Be careful with baking time. Mine did not take anywhere near 1 hr 45 minutes.
I am glad you liked it. I have only altered to a chocolate version so far. And yes I rarely put it in a bundt pan to bake. I usually make it in 2 8" pans which takes about an hour
Sounds delish! Can’t wait to try it. I’m a sucker for pound cake :)
Thanks for sharing I am going to give this a try tomorrow! :)

Thank you so much Sarah. So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing! I was looking for a dense cake recipe, for wedding cakes. May I ask something? Since you don’t put any baking soda or baking powder the flour you use is it self rising ?

Nadia,
Actuallly I use all purpose flour. The cake rises very nicely all on its own!!!
thank you very much, for the clarification! I’ll try it soon :)
