This is a good recipe for a beginner and/or a quick fix desert. I changed 2 things though, instead of Pillsbury Flour I used Down Cake Flour (I sifted all 3 cups) and I used vanilla and lemon flavoring, it gave it a different taste.

This recipe was little too dry for my taste. Took this to a party and it did not go well. Thank goodness I had made whip cream and vanilla pudding plus strawberries and blueberries to offset the dry pound cake. The flavor was very good..it kept very well and each day it tasted better.
