My grandma rocks on so many levels. Even though I’m grown and out of the house I still look forward to going out of town to grandmas. She still baby’s and spoils me rotten.
I swear everything her hands create tastes soooo freakin good, including her cream cheese pound cake (my favorite kind of pound cake).
I could just sit in her southern kitchen and watch her cook all day long. When I went to visit this past weekend I asked if she could make me a cream cheese pound cake and with a smile she said “why sure”. I wasn’t expecting it right that minute but she went into the kitchen and whipped this pound cake up like it was nothing.
What I adore about my grandma’s cream cheese pound cake recipe is that it bakes up incredibly moist and soft. The texture is so velvet-like and don’t even get me started on that soft, golden “crisp” that the outside has. Mercy. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my entire family has over the years.

Watch my grandma make this cream cheese pound cake from start to finish!

This is the only recipe I’ll use. Turns out great every time.I truly appreciate you sharing.
Use a standard sized bundt or tube pan…this makes a nice big cake!
I already make a killer pound cake, but this Cream Cheese Pound has to be the very best pound cake ever! Go exactly by Monique’s grandma’s instructions. Beat each egg for a minute….this makes a HUGE difference. I don’t usually have lemon flavoring, but I did have organic lemon essential oil, and I used 3 drops in place of the lemon flavoring. It mixes into a super thick batter, so be sure to scrape sides of mixing bowl frequently. Don’t preheat your oven…put in a cold oven. This makes a nice big cake, so don’t use a small bundt pan…use a standard sized tube or bundt pan. You are gonna love it! Thanks, Monique, for sharing your awesome grandma’s recipe!! Blessings!
I submitted before the stars lit up! Definitely a 5 star cake!
Do you have high altitude instructions? I love making this pound cake for my family, but we recently moved to the mountains and the regular instructions didn’t turn out. Thanks!
At elevations over 3,500 feet, the oven temperature for batters and doughs should be about 25 degrees F higher than the temperature used at sea level. Decrease the amount of baking powder slightly; this also prevents the recipe from rising too much.
For cakes using baking. powder.

Does it matter the size bundt pan you use for this cream cheese pound cake..
I Baked This Pound Cake and I had to use muffin ti s Because my bundt pan was to small for All the Batter They Were still and moist
Can you add fresh blueberries to this? I’ve made it several times without and it’s amazing every time. Thank you!
Came out PERFECT! Not too sweet. My family’s favorite cake!
I have made this several times and it always turns out perfect! I use almond extract instead of lemon just because it is one of my favorite flavors and it is perfection. Also I half the recipe and use a loaf pan.
In the oven now….I can’t wait!!
Thank you! After many episodes of experiencing the “sad streaks” that come from blending issues, I have finally mastered that problem. I’ve been making this cake for years and now and then, just have to toss them because of soggy sections. Your grandmother has spaced out the ingredients enough to insure proper mixing. I am forever grateful! My cake was perfect. Gayle Renfro, Cincinnati
Hi. What did you do to get rid of the sad streaks. My husband is experiencing this and it’s driving him crazy.
That usually comes from over-creaming. I keep my mixer on a low speed.
Love this cake Fab every time! Thanks!
When I discovered this recipe, the streaks went away for good. I think I was not blending the ingredients well enough. Grandma has pulled it apart and her instructions make you mix the dense cake. Starting with a cold oven also helpful to let it rise slowly. Have him follow the recipe exactly. I also sift my sugar and cake flour which eliminates lumps. Keep at it, he will figure it out
Love this ❤️ recipe 4th time baking this Pound Cake you are right mixing makes all all the difference
Thanks for sharing GrandMa recipe!!! I give 4 STARS
The cake separated from the crust and why was that
Mine too. I’d love to underhand why. Every time I make this amazing cake (which is absolutely fantastic) my crust is beautifully crisp and I end up eating it first.
I just made this yesterday. It came out aaammmaazziinnnggggg. Family loves it. I love the sweetness. Yesss Bihhh!!!
I’ve been making this cake ( almost same recipe) for over 30 years. It’s undoubtedly my entire family’s (4 kids, 10 grands and a host of grandparents, aunts, uncle’s, cousins, etc favorite cake!
Can you bake this in 2 round cake pans or in a 9×13 pan instead thanks
Made several times, my family and friends love it Thank you.
One more thing. I was curious what difference is there with the butter flavor shortening? I think I saw one of your non-cream cheese pound cakes that included it? Please share.
Hello Ms. Diva, Well done for honoring your grandma and carrying on the legacy. Our family is hoping to do the same with my mother-in-law who has early stages of dementia. She made the best pound cakes with and without homemade caramel topping (she mastered candied yams too)! I hope we’re not too late. I’ll write once I have completed. I know it will be delicious!
I love ? the video you made honoring your grandmother. The cake looks so yummy. Can’t wait to make the recipe.
Thnk you Kim!
This cake is by far my favorite cream cheese recipe. I do use salted butter because otherwise the butter tastes like lard or blah. Nothing but praise from everyone that eats it. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Shirley
Do it have to be a bundt pan can it be a reg tube pan
What size bundt pan should be used?
This is the best pound cake recipe hands down. My family loves it. The cake never lasts. I put a glaze on mine.
What type of Glaze did you use and what are the ingredients,Thanks
This is the best pound cake recipe ever! Thanks so much for sharing.
I tried this recipe for the first time about 2wks ago. It is delicious and reminds me of my husbands grandmother and aunt pound cake . I think I found there recipe. It is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
CAn you cut back on sugar? A little too sweet, but taste and texture wonderful.
Thank you and your granny for sharing this recipe!!!! Everybody LOOOVVVVEEESSSSS when I bake this cake!
It turned out delicious! Thanks!
In the oven now! Thanks so much for the recipe. I saved it to my clipboard
Just watching this video brought back so many memories for me watching my mother-in-law cook. This is an awesome cake!
Thanks for sharing.
I made this for Christmas because I lost my grandmother’s recipe…..it was spot on! Everyone LOVED it! You are amazing and I love that you add the video with the instructions! You are the best!!!!
Thank you for sharing this recipes and video, it remind me of my mother’s baking for the holidays. Just looking at her hands gave comfort and great memories. Making this cake now.,
I love cream cheese pound cake and I’ve always tried to make it using other recipes and it NEVER turned out right. This is my very first time using this recipe and Finally I can honestly say it came out PERFECT! Moist, soft, and GOOD!
I luv thus recipe
This cake recipe is the best! I put a cake pan with water on the lower rack to get a caramel color to it!
My best friend at work had been telling me all year how she missed Christmas with her ex husband’s family because his grand momma would always make her a cream cheese pound cake. I found your recipe and made it for her, she seriously cried. Thank you for helping make her first Christmas alone special. Love all of your recipes!! Love your video of your grandmother making the pound cake. Remind me of helping my grandma bake during the holidays.
I just fix this recipe for the first time. Taking to church. Will post after they give thumbs up or down. I myself have never been a fan of pound cake. I will also add a glaze.
Very good you need a large size Bundy pan. Standard size is too small this cake didn’t last a whole day on thanksgiving!!
I have made a cream cheese pound cake for years. Butttt I made it like grandma did with the mixing of ingredients and I cannot begin to tell you how great it is. Its richer creamier just toooo good for words of expression. My family went nuts at Thanksgiving so I am making it again for 30 of us at Christmas.
Would love to have your Grandmas cookbook.. I know she is a southern bell I watched her video making this cake. She is a beautiful soul for sure. ( can see you coming for a visit and telling her you would love her pound cake and her off to the kitchen to make. Puts a big happy smile on my face. Your lucky to have such a sweet beautiful lady in your life. Can;t hardly wait to make it! ♥ Tee
I baked this pound cake and it is delicious!! My family loves it! Now I am being asked by people to bake this cake for them. The best recipe ever!!
I made this pound cake and it is delicious! My family loves it and I am getting orders from people to bake this cake for them. The best ‘recipe ever!
Great recipe. Tried it with a stand mixer. Need to fiddle with it some more to properly adapt it. The bottom (top in the pan) was crisp like a butter sugar cookie (we ate that before turning it out of the pan to cool). (I don’t think I beat the butter and sugar long enough. Again, I need to fiddle with the mixing time for the stand mixer.) The cake itself (sans bottom) was moist and buttery, as a pound cake should be.
Just curious though…if anyone has adapted this recipe to a stand mixer, I’d love to know the results.
Turned out great…. I cut the butter down to 2 1/2 sticks. I also cut the sugar down to 2cups and used half cake flour and half all purpose flour. Very good recipe, thanks!
Excellent!!! Scrumptious!!! Purely delicious collector proof cream cheese pound cake! Thank you for sharing your family recipe with us…I’ve gotten so many kudos from this recipe 🙂
man – this bitch ass recipe didn’t turn out right. i had so much fun making it with my friends. we laughed and bonded. but the damn cake didn’t come out right. they said it didn’t cook all the way through (i think that is the way it is supposed to look, kinda). thanks for the memories. i look forward to making this bitch ass recipe again. happy thanksgiving!
this is REVIEW is a good one, too! i love your recipes.
I love your recipes.
Can I use lemon juice for extract ? Can I use hazelnut syrup for extract?
This pound cake recipe always makes me think of my mom who passed in 2008. This cake is so delicious. Thanks for keep the memories alive.
I absolutely love love love your recipe. Especially the red velvet recipe! The best ever.
Gonna try this Thanksgiving if not too tired ????
Love the recipe my question is do you have to use the baking powder?
I saw other recipes same ingredients no baking powder.
I’m just wondering
No salt
Made this yesterday and it is delicious! I was a little concerned with the amount of baking powder in relation to the volume of flour, so increased to 1.5 tsp. Seemed to do the trick as it baked up nice and high. Will make again.
Made this cake last night, and before it could cool my husband was cutting it.This cake came out PERFECT. My in-laws loved it as well. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing .
FYI….. Follow the recipe as it is, DO NOT deviate and read all TIPS.
although this cake was very tasty, it slightly fell. I will definitely make again, but just wondering, where do you place oven racks? Do you put cakes on bottom, or middle rack? I don not have a convection oven
I love how she made this.. I’ve made a cream cheese pound cake before, but can’t wait to try “Grandmas”
My boyfriend and I love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Can I use this in a 9″ round pan? will I need to change anything?
If you do, you will need to use 2 (or 3) depending on how thick you want your layers.
Been making this cake by your recioe for over a year and a half now….love love love. I love your recipes. You save the holidays, your pies are delicious also…..kudos
Hello, I’ve baked for as long as I can remember. I cater and make sweet tables Etc. People have always told me that my pound cakes were good but I tried this recipe OMG!! Tell grandma my hat goes off to her. Using this recipe for now on.
Love the video of your sweet grandma making the cake. A true cook artist.
Oh my gosh! Pure heaven. This is the best pound cake I’ve ever had. Thank you!
I made this cake for the first time earlier today and I must say it turned out awesome! I actually halved the recipe because Just y looking at the quantity of each ingredients I figured it would make a bigger cake than I needed. I followed the instructions step by step and it was perfect. Moist and rich. I love it. Will definitely save this recipe and will be making this cake again.
UH MAZ ING!!!! My first time making a successful pound cake from scratch.. Lets just say that I sent my mother home with 6 slices , she said they were thin slices, last night and she called me this morning saying she was all out. this is my new recipe !! Thanks a bunch. Your grandma, as does mine, ROCKS!!!
I made this yummy cake a few weeks ago and it has become my new “go-to” pound cake. It was delicious. I made the 7-up pound cake for yrs now will probably not make it again unless someone specifically asks for it. Thanks for sharing.
This was the first recipe for pound cake I had ever attempted and it didn’t disappoint. I used a tube pan because I don’t have a bundt, but I think it worked out just fine. Very tender crumb and crisp outer crust. Yum! I have now made this 3 times! It freezes well if you have any left overs, and worked great in an impromptu berry trifle for our Summer night dessert.
This cake comes out perfect every time as long as you follow all the suggestions. The texture is smooth and it’s not too sweet. The best cake I’ve every made. Thanks for a great recipe.
Overall I like the texture of the cake, especially the crunchy top and the flavor. However, this cake was extremely sweet for my liking even after I reduce the sugar by a 1/2 cup. I am going to give it again reducing it to about 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead.
Can’t wait to try this God bless Grandma Barb. And you.
HELLO.
Did your grandma put egg whites in the end? When the batter was in the pan,before she swirled it,looked like she was adding egg whites in the batter.Please let me know.
Just made this and I have to say it is the best hands down..
what kind of electric mixer do you use? Like to know what setting up use to mix sugar and butter. then when you add the flour. what setting to you use? I seem to get these irregularities in batter, looks like wet streaks in cake, when slicing? any suggestions?
I feel really crazy asking this but is this calling for 3 cups of powdered sugar or 3 cups white sugar I can’t wait to make this but needed to make certain I use all the right stuff
You sold me when you posted a picture of your grandma’s hands. I’m going to make this today! <3
I just used this recipe, and my family thinks it’s delicious. I’ve never make a pound cake and it turned out wonderfully. It is super easy, with great tips. I’m going to work on perfecting this cake…the outside is crunchy delicious.
This pound cake sounds amazing! I have never made one but I’m very tempted, my husband is always asking me to make one.
Made Grandma’s cheese cake pound cake today it is so good my husband already had 2 pieces.
Right away I am ready to do my breakfast,
after having my breakfast coming yet again to read further
news.
I followed the recipe perfectly. This cake didn’t rise. Looked like an oversized donut. And it didnt tsste that good.
This recipe is great…..Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
OMG this cake is full of the South..Thankd for sharing
This pound cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS & easy to make!!! I followed the directions to a T & it came out perfect! Moist & Delicious! Thank you Monique for sharing such WONDERFUL recipes! God Bless you & your family!
I preheated my oven and didn’t read the tips any suggestions it’s still in the oven and I used to tube pans it was to much mix for one
This is hands-down the best cream cheese pound cake I have ever made. Moist!
This is the most best moist pound cake I ever made or taste. I am a southern girl that like to cook . If you follow the recipe you can’t go wrong. I am looking forward to try more of your recipes. keep them coming
I made your Grandma’s cake last night. It was delicious and it tastes even better today. I forgot to mix a minute after each egg until the 5th one and it still tastes great. I love the crisp outside also. Grandma has it going on. Thank you for sharing.
A
THE best pound cake I’ve ever tasted in my entire life!!! Pretty proud of myself for making it! Thanks for the recope, I followed it to a T… with one substitution, I used Pillsbury’s Gluten Free all purpose flour blend instead of wheat flour. Simply amazing!
Diva! This is a winner! Made one for Christmas and now for New Years Eve gathering as requested!!
Made exactly with your recipe not changes. Although my my oven temperature varied my baking time.
My cake was ready at 1 hour 45 minutes. (When wooden skewer inserted was clean)
thank you
I would like to know if I can use a tube pan and why the cake has to go in a cold oven?
OMG I am totally going to make this immediately and follow every single step. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I made this for my Christmas Brunch and it was sooo good I only got one piece, it disappeared off the plate. I will be making it again this weekend. I am known for my cooking not my baking so it was hard for my family to believe I made it. Thanks Grandma!!!!
I cried, this remind me so much of my grandmother; she died in 2006, she was 109 years old. She is Praising and worshiping God now. I am cooking your grandmas pound cake now for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing your grandmas recipe with the world. God bless you and your family. To God be the Glory.
Great recipe! Great directions! Great results!
Everything is simply wonderful
Hats off to you Monique! Girl when I tell you this recipe is the TRUTH!!! OMG!! This was my first time ever making a pound cake from scratch. It turned out PERFECT!!!!!!!!! I had a colleague who introduced me to your website and I fell in love. I have been bragging and mentioning your website to any and everybody. That’s no lie. For Thanksgiving, I made a cream cheese pound cake, 7 up pound cake, cranberry sauce and o lord, the yeast rolls. Darling, you have it going on. For Christmas I am making another cream cheese pound cake, a five flavor pound cake, 2 sweet potato pies, pecan pie and again the yeast rolls. For New Year’s Day Dinner, we’re having the cabbage with the chicken broth and smoked turkey leg, black eyed peas, corn bread and fried chicken all from your website. Again, my hats off to you, you have it going on on Divas can cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The absolute best pound cake! I made this for Thanksgiving and my mom was shocked that I actually baked it. So moist!!!!!
Getting ready to make another one just because. Thank you Grandma!!!!
I followed the directions to a t and my cake fell in the middle. Why did this happen?
OMG!!!! Best pound cake I have ever had. I did make your other whipping pound cake which was also very good. But in my opinion this one was better. I mean even the crust was something I have never tasted before. Y’all have got to make this!!! You will not be disappointed.
I’m so excited to try this one today! I made the whipping moist pound cake, and the 5 flavor one too (I LOVED THAT ONE), but I have this itch to try her grandmothers pound cake! I’m so glad I read your comment. Going to try after I get some cream cheese…hate waiting for it to get room temperature.
This is the best pound cake ever! I just made two for a charity bake sale. Thanks for the video, love it,
Thank you for sharing the recipe. It is awesome!
OMG! This cake turned out great! The first time I made this I realized I only had 3 eggs so, I made it anyway, curious of the outcome, but to my surprised it turned out well. Still moist, tender, and flavorful and even better the second time with all 6 eggs. Thanks for sharing. Will make again.
Wow this is the best pound cake ive ever made! Thank you for sharing!
I made this cake on last night. It’s delicious! My picky 5 year old can’t stop eating it.
This Poundcake was delicious! Although, when I cut into it, it looked like the cream cheese and lemon was settled in the middle of the slices. Not done? Did I under cook it? One thing I know I did wrong. I preheated the stove. It tasted as if it was done???? My husband and friends ate it all! Please email me to let me know what I may have done wrong. Thank you so much!
I made this over the weekend and it turned out great! My one problem was my bundt pan wasn’t tall enough and I was afraid that mistake would result in a fallen cake, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The cake still turned out wonderful.
I made this cake tonight and it was SO delicious! I’ve never used cream cheese in a cake like this before and it brought such a beautiful flavour to the cake. This recipe is definitly a keeper! Thank you for sharing ????
Diva please tell your grandmother her recipe is the bomb????
It was the talk of the party everyone enjoyed the pound cake
Awesome. Your grandmother desired a stand ovation ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…..
Thanks
Love this cake recipe.. And the video music..
I made this cake and it is out of this world! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the recipe.

When I came to this website I didn t know what I was doing so thank you very much for helping me
I think you are awsome.
Great recipe love it !!!super easy !!!! My husband and daughter loves this cake ….tell your grandma thanks ????????????
The best cake I have EVER made, and maybe even tasted!
I was the woman who would follow different pound cake recipes exactly as they were written. However, my results were never consistent. Usually I would get a fallen cake or have that raw
marbeled line running through it. What was different about this recipe was seeing the video
and your instructions about having the ingredients at room temperature. Also by indicating
the amount of time to stir in the ingredients. NOW…..EVERY pound cake I make from this recipe
turn out EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!
I am going to bake this cake for Christmas.
Your grandma’s recipe is the BEST! Turned out SOoo good and moist!! And the crust is so flaky and perfect! This is defenatly my go to recipe for a good pound cake!! Will be making for Christmas party at work and KNOW it will be enjoyed ! Thanks to you and grandma for sharing! ????
My cake broke apart when I turned it upside down. I use a scalloped bundt pan…I also noticed that when i took it out of the oven after and hour and half that it had started falling…What did I do wrong??? I loved the taste of this cake tho…my coworkers love it …ugly as it is..LOL

WOW!! A gorgeous cake from start to finish. Please give your Grandma a hug!
1st time making a pound cake, thank you so much, Diva, for sharing the recipe/video. This pound cake is everything! Super moist & full of flavor!
I’m 7 months pregnant and had been craving pound cake, so I came to your website to see what I could find and am so glad I came across this recipe! It turned out great! Dense yet moist, and the crust was soooo good! I made a simple vanilla glaze to top it using powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and milk. It definitely hit the spot and my baby girl was kicking in approval 🙂 I love your cake recipes and am so glad your grandma allowed you to share this one! Will definitely be making this again!
This was the best pound cake I have ever had! The good thing about it was that it was very easy! I think next time I will not cook it as long however, it was a !very tasty dessert. My family ranted and raved about it.
Its in the oven as we speak!
I noticed looking through the window that its browning very well..I can’t wait! So Excited
My family loved this cake! Will certainly make this again
With my stove, I didn’t need to bake it for the 1 1/2 hours. My cake was done after about 1 hour and 15-20 min. Just keep an eye on it so you don’t over bake it.
Thanks to you and your grandmother, this was a hit for me and my family loved it!!! I love to bake but rather use cake flour instead of flour and found this recipe. I bake a cake every Saturday and this will be at least twice a month if not more!! If you have a recipe for caramel cake, please share!!!
It’s cooling on the rack right now, can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing both the recipe and the video. I think this will be my go to recipe whenever I’m craving pound cake.
Made my first red velvet cake from your recipe it turned out really well! Taste great thanks keep it coming love this site!
Your grandma recipe rocks! Thanks for sharing, it’s now my family’s favorite!!!
Thank you for sharing this, and so many other recipes from your grandmother. I have made this cake before, but the tips that your grandmother offered have put the special touch on it. Grandmothers are a gift from God! I enjoyed many dishes made by my grandmother when she was alive.
Love this cake made it two times already! Thanks for sharing 🙂
It came out so pretty and my coworkers loved it! I’m making it again for Christmas dinner!
Hi Monique ! Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
At this time of year , Im sure youre busy but hope if you have the time and chance to respond…
I’m planning to make your grandmothers cream cheese pound cake but do have a question out of curiosity, is it possible to use a splash of whipping cream or 1/4 cup of buttermilk with this recipe to enhance the moistness ? Thanks for your time and patience..God Bless !:)
I found this recipe on 8/24/14 and made it Sunday night. It was absolutely delicious. It was gone by Wednesday! Today is Saturday 8/30/14 and I am baking it a second time. I am definitely going to check out your other recipes. Thanks to Grandma for allowing you to share and to you for sharing. Goes to my favorites……
The only thing I did differently……I made a homemade Cream Cheese Icing to top it!
I have many a couple of pound cakes, in my time. This one is REALLY good. A moist and dense cake. The ingredients are not all that different from other cream cheese pound cakes, but I believe the difference is how the eggs are incorporated into the batter.
I did not have lemon extract, so I substituted with a small amount of lemon juice and then almond extract. I made double the batch and it tasted a tad too much like flour, so I added more almond, vanilla and a little splash of buttermilk.
That did the trick. I made one large bundt pan and two smaller
round pans. I baked them all together and they all came out perfect (smaller ones baked in under an hour). I forgot about not preheating the oven, but it didn’t matter.
Tell ur Grandmother that this cake is so delicious! And thanks for sharing! Godbless
I’m making it now! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Excellent recipe. I cut everything in half to make smaller version. It was fantastic.
I originally baked this cake in May 2011. Since then this has become my go to cake. It has become a family favorite. On holidays, I receive requests from friends and relatives and it is always for this particular cake. This past Christmas, I baked 3 cakes for our family Christmas vacation. A chocolate, a cinnamon, and this pound cake. There were all sorts of sweets on the buffet table. However, this pound was a hit. It was consumed before the others were even touched. This cake can stand on it’s own; but I often add a simple water based lemon/vanilla glaze to the top.
Thank you for this recipe. And your fantastic website.
Help me I made this cake once and it came out perfectly. The second time I thought I did everything the same but the cake fell. Even though I had it in there over the 1.5 the cake was not done. What happened??? Thanks
I’m not much of a baker but I decided to try this Pound Cake recipe today and it is AWESOME. I absolutely love the recipes on your website.
looking forward to making this cake, wish I knew yesterday what to do about the salted butter I purchased. Can I still use it? Will it make a big difference? Thanks.
This video was very touching. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Can’t wait to try.
This is so rich and delicious. I have cooked for over thirty years and am ashamed to say that I have never made a pound cake. I did a search for moistest cream cheese pound cake and luckily your recipe came up. Off to the kitchen I went and made this luscious piece of heavenly deliciousness. Thank you for sharing and also one to your grandma. It is sooo good and my family has already dove into it because they could not wait for it to cool.
Wow! Thank you for posting this recipe. I made my first pound cake. Thank you!!! It was delicious and easy to make! I didn’t have the lemon extract and it still came out great! You need to sell a cookbook with your & grandma’s recipes!
Never made a pound cake before this one..only thing i did different was not putting some much sugar in cant have that much sugar..hope it turns out good 4am her and baking lol
I made this cake the wife and my son went crazy over it.
Miss Lady, Miss Lady.Where have I been! After trying several of you recipes, I decided to make your Grandma’s Cake. Let me tell you after today box cake mix will no longer have a place here. My family loved this cake and your recipes so much we decided to support you and purchase your cook books (all 3). Thank you for sharing your granny with us. Military life have kept me miles away from my family.
Happy cooking with you.
Q
I tried this recipe and it came out great. My kids ate it up in two days. Now my Mom wants me to make her one. Keep up the good work. My grandmother passes on 16 years ago and I did not get her recipe. Thank God for you an your Grandma. 🙂
How much is a stick of butter exactly? 🙂
I made this cake for Easter into a hidden Easter egg cake.(When you have the shape of a rainbow Easter egg inside of the cake) I topped it off with a white chocolate glaze and it was sooooooooo good!! I recommend glazing the cake because it really made the perfect touch 🙂 Thanks for another great recipe :))
That was a beautiful video and a great song to compliment it!! I am making grandmas pound cake for Easter dinner this afternoon. I shall let you know how it turns out!!
PLEASE RESPOND: Does anyone know if this would taste good with lemon glaze?????
Thank you soooooo much for the grandma’s pound cake recipe. My granddaughter and I did on a Sunday, it was fabulous! I tried it, only thing, I don’t own a bundt pan. I put the batter into the individual cupcake high temp pods shape like flowers. The are like plastic but can take high temps, I did use the cold oven to cook them in. We used a ice cream scoop to fill each one . We made 24 cupcakes from that recipe and we used your cream cheese icing recipe and topped each one with assorted sprinkles. My mercy, this is the best recipe I ever tasted for pound cake. I gave the recipe to my sister and my neighbor. I wonder can the recipe be used for two layer cake? I’m one of those who can bake a pie, but not a cake.
Very Pleased, I will try more recipe, thanks!
I am making it right now
I am making one right now
It ws superbbbbbbbb 😀 thnx!
Hi. I have two comments. First I tried your pound cake and it was the bomb. I find myself making it at least three times a month. My family loves it. I will soon try more of your desserts. But the “biggy ” is what happened on Thanksgiving. I made an 18 pound turkey and they almost fought over the leftovers. There was nothing left. Not even the soup bone. No turkey soup for me. lol. I was never good with or liked turkey until I used your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless.
hi, the butter, you’re using sticks right? i want to know how many grams the butter is as my butter is not small like your’s and its quite big so i want to know how many grams is it: so it would be easier for me to bake it 🙂 thanks:D

This cake was a hit with my family especially, my mom. She couldn’t believe I baked it myself. My son finally had a homemade cake for his birthday. Thanks again.
I just baked this cake for my son’s birthday on tomorrow. He was so excited to know that I was baking his cake this year rather than buying it from Publix. Thanks for sharing.
who would’ve conjured up the thought that at 26 I would be in the kitchen whippin up a pound cake shoot I wouldn’t have but thanks to Monique I was and I did and it tastes like somebody’s grandma put their foot in it
Thanks Monique and God Bless
Monique, I made this cake tonight for a bday dinner. It was a big hit. Everyone was complimenting me on this cake. Thanks for this recipe. I am loving your website.
I tried this recipe – again another awesome recipe!!! (I bake the red velvet on Thanksgiving). Very easy ingredients, very easy instructions. Super moist one of the best
Hubby is making the pound cake…we don’t have a sifter, will let you know how that turns out.
This is next on our list for Thanksgiving 2012!
I absolutely LOVE the website and this pound cake recipe delicious. My husband especially loves the crust that forms on top…lol
While I have made it a million times now my question is what type of lemon extract is your Grandmother using in the video? I have never seen an extract that thick and am thinking that the flavor will probably pop even more using that brand.
Thanks :0 )
OMG I almost started crying when I saw your grandma’s hands on that bowl. My grandma has been gone for 10 years but I miss her and think about her often. You are so blessed to still have her. I made your chocolate chips cookies today. Tomorrow or later this week I will make this pound cake.
What temperature do you cook this cake on?
Can i use White Lilly Flour for this pound cake, and i swear i have made at least 4 things off this site..I Love it..My favorite is the way to make perfect boiled eggs…
OMG I have never been good at making poundcakes however I love to eat poundcake. This recipe so easy to follow and it turned out great. Thank you so much for sharing. Your website is a blessing. I look forward to trying mor eof your recipes. Thanks so much
I will definitely make this pound cake. I love to bake and when I read the ingredients I said WOW! I know it is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing Grandma’s recipe. My grandma was always cooking too. God Bless Grandma and you too!
GIRL!!!!! OMG I can not tell you how yummy, moist and delicious this cake was. I made it last week with my four year old nephew as our activity of the day. LAWD, the crust…the flavors. It was simply amazing. Thank you so much, I will definately be making again and I have shared the blog and recipe with many friends. Thanks!
I’ve made this cake 3 times now….and it is absolutely the best pound cake ever….thanks Monique.
Where are the directions?
3 stick butter how many grams?
Cake flour is it same as self raising flour?
Sugar what kind of sugar? Caster? Fine?
My favorite times was in the kitchen with my grandma and listening to her stories…THAT TRUE HISTORY. Please Thank your grandmother for sharing her recipe with us.
Diva please help! What do I use to grease the pan?
If allergic to cream cheese, can you make the cake without it?
are you allergic to sour cream? if not, use sour cream.
This recipe is simply AMAZING!! It is now my go to base for pound cakes. Just started experimenting with flavors. Crossing my fingers one is in the oven as we speak with strawberries added to the batter 😮 D
Thanks for sharing all of the amazing advice and recipes!!
Can you put this in printable format 😀
Cannot.Believe.This!!!
I actually just made this pound cake, and girl it was good!!! This is my second time to make a pound cake, but my first time using your recipe. I just got a fabulous new Kitchen Aid mixer and – don’t laugh – the mixer came with some recipes, one of which was for a pound cake. I made it and had to throw it out! LOL … I said to myself, I need to check out “divascancook” and see if she has a recipe, and sure enough — you did! My goodnesss, it is sooooooo good. I’m going to have to give it away before I eat it all. I think I need to stay away from this Web site or at least use these recipes in moderation!!! 🙂
going to attempt baking a cake for the first time in my life..trying your recipe tomorrow wish me luck:) …o by the way shall i leave the cold ingredients out tonight?
This cake definitely reminds me of my grandma’s pound cake. I made it last night for Christmas but I don’t think it will last until then. Keep up the good work and I am so happy that I was finally able to feel like my grandma is close to me again with this cake she passed away last year.
I saw this recipe and immediately recognized it as my grandmother’s famous cream cheese pound cake!!! I am so thrilled that you have shared this recipe as my grandmother now has alzheimers and all her recipes were lost in a fire. I love what your recipes represent. 🙂 I will be making this for Christmas for my family, so many will be surprised. I will practice on my coworkers each week until to perfect it. I remember the six eggs, swan cake flour, eggs and cream cheese room temp. I will definitely remember not to preheat oven. Keep them coming Monique.
Ok first i will like to say is thank you thank you and your grandmother is absolutely right about not preheating the oven my cake came out great this was me and my husband 1st time having thanksgiving at out house and we r young married couple but you r the bomb i tell you we r the next generations cooks yaaaaaaahy lol.But before i leave will you be able to show me how to make a pineapple upside down cake and a 7 up pound cake please
Making this today! Made alot of your stuff and it was all the bomb.com! Your yams were off the chain! I added marshmellow topping—OK,OK way too many marshmellows and the yams were stretchy..Not your fault though.LOL You are a blessing to my family’s stomach! Thank you for sharing. Your dressing was also a hit by the way! I look forward to seeing you on foodnetwork…it’s in your future girl! Girl shake it like a polaroid picture! LOL Mwah!!!
I made the pound cake for Thanksgiving and my fam loved it! I always know baked goods in the house are a winner when my dad sneaks in the kitchen at night to get snacks and he went back three times in one night! I also made the mac n cheese which was great so thanks or the videos….I’m one who learns by watching! Happy cooking and eating everyone!
I just put this cake in the oven…can’t wait to taste it. Thank you for sharing your Grandma’s recipe!
I made this cake today. It was the best pound cake that I have had in a long time. I am so thankful that I found this site. Now I can stop buying these things in the supermarket, and make them at home.

Hi,
Please thank your grandmother for me for this wonderful recipe. I made this cake last night and it is delicious. Everyone loves it. This is the second thing I made from your website (first being your red velvet cake). The family had a taste for a pound cake and immediately came to your site hoping you had a recipe for one lol. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. After the great experience I had with your red velvet cake and reading the comments on youtube about this cake, I just had to try it. I can't wait to try more of you and your grandmothers recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
For those trying to print the recipe here is the solution. Left click and highlight the recipe only, once the recipe is highlighted click on print. When the print dialogue window opens click on the selection option.
This will allow you to print only the selected text perfectly.
This is my method for printing all of the recipes. Good luck!
I did this recipe yesterday. Please say my regards to your grandmother. Wish to see her picture 🙂 I miss my grand mother and when I go back to my country, I will bake this cake for my grand mother 🙂 It came out really perfect.Thank you.
Going to try this tonight. Did I miss the oven temperature and the lenght of time to bake? I have looked for it but can't find. Thanks, I'm so enjoying your site. Keep up the good work. Everything that I have tried has been fantastic!!!

I'm making it now, I'll let u know how it turns out….thanx!
I made pound cake with your bakery pan release spread….it was awesome! crisp outside and melt in the mouth inside. Hub loves PC so I don't think I'll be buying it anymore. This bundt cake is so big I froze half. Thanks again
My mom is now fragile and can no longer stand long enough to cook but loves the taste of "something sweet". I baked this cake yesterday as my mother's day gift for her. She loves it. This was my first time trying this recipe and my cake turned out exactly like your pictures and the cake in the video. It is a bit too sweet for my taste so I plan to make another this coming weekend with less sugar. Thank you so much for the recipe and videos. I am new to "home" cooking and find your directions, very easy to follow.
i KNOW this is the best pound cake, period. PERIOD!
I have to tell you…I found your blog when I was looking for thanksgiving recipes. You have turned me into a fabulous cook! I think I have tried everything on your site. NEVER had a bad recipe! You need to be on food network. I want to buy your cook book…is that printer friendly? You should send it to a publisher 🙂 Thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks guys!!
Yeah the printer format sucks!!! I gotta find a way to fix that.
Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes. I want to print some of your recipes, however, I notice that your recipes are not print friendly and I would like to know if you are going to fix that in the near future.
Thanks for sharing…gotta try. I love pound cake, too! Have you tried 7up cake?
Looks nice and yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will surely try this out.
Take the Cake Personality Test and find out which cake are you like. I have taken the test and have enjoyed a lot. Hope you too will enjoy it. Have Fun!!
MMM, that looks so good and I am going to try this recipe soon. How sweet of you to put your grandma on your blog. I'm not close to my family and I love to see other families who are close. Keep up the good work sweetheart.
