MILLION DOLLAR POUND CAKE (MY VERSION)



Million Dollar Pound Cake (My Version) image

I made this pond cake based on Southern Living's Million Dollar Pound Cake recipe, but had to sub a couple of ingredients so that I could use what I had onhand. It turned out pretty decent, so I am writing it down here before I forget what I did! Just a couple of notes: 1) Since this cake has no baking powder or baking soda, I make sure the butter, sugar, and eggs cream together for quite a while to incorperate air into mixture-- anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. 2) The bake time is what was indicated on the original recipe, but I find it takes about 10 more minutes in my oven.
