Hi John, I've been following you for the past 2 years. Every recipe I try of yours comes out AMAZING!.... eventually... 😆 your chocolate chip cookies are a part of our Christmas tree decorating tradition and your banana bread is made atleast 6 time a year. Anyway I want to thank you, I'm a 6 year combat veteran (Army) and was medically discharged in 2006. I was a helicopter mechanic and door gunner I served 14mo un Iraq and I continued in aviation and still work on airplanes for Lockheed Martin. As a veteran I struggle with PTSD and well its hard some time I have days I just can't get happy. When it gets bad I have found baking helps me center and get to the happy side of life and you and you videos have helped me stay on the happy side of life. I started baking with my 2 daughters both 8 now. Your videos have made a difference in my life and has positively impacted my family's life. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos.

I have made this so many times over the last few months. My husband now requests this! I made a few for family as Christmas gifts ❤️ thank you for this awesome recipe!

Congrats on your new kitchen! It’s gorgeous and you totally deserve it! And I can’t believe how much your channel has grown in such a short time. Thanks for the pound cake recipe ❤️

I made this cake last night, turned out great. Thanks for a wonderful recipe John, I am a huge fan of your recipes. Keep up the good work!

Just finish making this pound cake and it turned out really good! soft and moist in the centre. I did have to increase the time in the oven for extra 15min to fully cook it through with the nice browned cracked top. Definitely recommending this recipe for anyone!

I so appreciate the way you take is through the recipe with your clear instructions and calm manner! I enjoy baking with you as my teacher!

I made this tonight and my guys (hubby and son) went bonkers. It will be on the family menu forever no doubt. Thanks to you I get to surprise my family and change things up. You’re the best and you have a dynamite personality. I find your balanced disposition so calming.

This was AMAZING. Thank you! My husband loved it so much he went back for a second piece the first day. He's had a piece every day since. I made it to create strawberry shortcakes after a trip to a local farm for strawberry picking here in Connecticut, but it is amazing all on its own.

I just made the cake by following exact recipe. I only added some orange zest and it came out Delicious. Really easy to make and so much fun to make with the little one.

I followed this recipe of yours and it was PERFECT!!! I can’t stop eating it! So moist, delicious, yummmsss thank you!! 💓

This pound cake was so moist, butter and a dream to bite into. I made this today and my family loved it so so much. This is now going to be a regular thing in our house 😂 btw making my 3rd pound cake under 24 hours . Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Great as always John, you always manage to brighten my day. Also thanks for always including weight measurements, nothing more annoying to us Brit bakers as cup measurements.

GREAT TIP: if using zest, rub it into the SUGAR as the oils will release and make the flavour way more pronounced! And it avoids lumps of zest in your cakes! 💛

I like how your recipe better! It’s not complicated and you don’t use a “pound” of everything. Thank you!

This is the best pound cake I have ever made it was delicious thank u so much john. And congratulations for 1 million. Love u !!!!!!

Hey there I saw the other comments and I was wondering if you have the recipe yet?

Love this! I've made it twice this week since finding it. For me it makes two cakes per batch and leaving the batter in the fridge overnight made it richer. It's kind of like a (good) huge pancake with syrup the first day and more like cake the next. I was low on ingredients so used 3 eggs, a cup of 2% milk, and brown sugar and also mixed it with a fork because I don't trust my mixer but it turned out fantastic and is now my favorite cake to make. (Also, full disclosure: I always add pecans for the second one)

@thairinkhudr4259

Жыл бұрын

I've always been afraid of keeping cake batter because I've heard people say that the air/bubbles will dissipate if left too long before baking. Thanks for sharing that you keep it refrigerated overnight! 😘 My oven is small so if I want to make cakes with multiple layers, I will always experience anxiety on this issue (baking them in multiple batches)

The cake turned out moist, tender, and had the perfect balance of sweetness. The flavor was simply divine, and it had a wonderful buttery aroma that filled my kitchen. I couldn't believe how easy the instructions were to follow, and the end result exceeded my expectations.

Amazing recipe. I made this today and my son kept on asking for more. He's only four. And this is the first time he showed so much interest in cake. He's usually such a fussy eater! It turned out amazing. Keep baking!

I just made this pound cake. It's a wonderful recipe! so delicious. I tried different recipes with pound cakes before but this one is Wow! The best.

I cant understand those who clicked for thumbs down. You are amazing. I love watching your videos. So calm and happy.

11/2 cup flour is 242 grams. For all those people who found the cake to be oily and eggy. It’s probably because you followed his measurement of 180g.

I'm not huge on pound cake but had a sudden urge to make this... and WOW I am so glad I did!! It was delicious and I will make it again for sure!! Like someone else said in a previous comment I also had to significantly increase my bake time by at least 15-20 mins but the cake was still moist and delicious - not dried out at all. This was heaven paired with John's lemon curd (I used less sugar).

i have made both chocolate and lemon cupckaes and they turned out amazing. thank you for these amazing recipes

Omg I loved that. that was sooo good. Is it only me or was every one making straberry shortcake

It is always easier to measure liquids by the gram instead of ml. That way, all of your ingredients have the same basis of measurement, and you can tell the ratios of say flour to liquid easier, which makes it easier to make adjustments if you need to because the ratio is always clear.

Absolutely delicious!!! I baked it today in a bundt pan. My family loved it. Definitely my go to pound cake recipe ❤❤❤ Thank you

Just made a variation of this dairy-free for my husband with lemon and blueberries. He loves it! This recipe works very well with coconut butter instead of regular butter, and plain coconut yogurt instead of sour cream. Moist and delicious and not a hint of coconut. Thank you so much for these wonderful recipes! Much love from Minnesota 😊

My verdict! Delicious! Am having with a cup of tea with it! Thanks for the video.

It would be amazing to see your take on a low carb alternative to this recipe utilizing almond flour.

This is the first thing I've baked from scratch and it is so good. P.S. I used salted butter because I didn't feel like running out the store. It's great and should contrast very well with the very sweet strawberry sauce I made for it

I've never made any desserts/cakes whatsoever before discovering this channel and I eventually ended up cooking my first cake last Sunday: I only limited myself to follow the few steps shown on this video and the outcome was simply phenomenal! Still can't believe what I was able to create by watching this recipe-tutorial, so thank you from Italy!

When I bake and the recipe calls for “preparing the pan”, I use spray (like Pam) and instead of flour, I coat the pan with sugar. It carmelizes the edges quite nicely and I don’t have any issues with burning, etc. I find the sugars adds just a but more flavor too. Just interested in your thoughts about this.
