Mary Frances - That recipes looks so good. I’ve been craving a pound cake for a few weeks but haven’t make the time to start experimenting. Maybe soon!
Anonymous - the pineapple is missing from the list of ingredients, but included in the directions. How much–the usual cup with its own liquid?
Matrox Graphics - Thank you! I have this for my birthday cake each year and it's amazing!
