SEMI-HOMEMADE VANILLA POUND CAKE

This is the best short-cut pound cake I've ever tasted! I intended to glaze it if it turned out good but changed my mind. It's so stinking good! The almond extract is the secret. I used a full teaspoon the first time and it was too much. The second time, I only used 1/2 teaspoon and it was perfect!
