"Plain is exactly how I would describe this. I was looking for a good authentic pound cake recipe and this tastes plain old blah. I wish I had read the review of this not being authentic and referring to alton brown. I followed the recipe precisely but was not at all pleased."

"Absolutely delicious, best recipe I've followed from this site! My entire family loved it and everyone had seconds! I will be using this again and again. However, I added additional seasoning to the shrimp prior to cooking ( Old bay, onion powder, garlic powder, and Lawry's seasoning salt) for more flavor. It was a hit!"
