Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Linda, to get the top and down the outter sided crisp like she did have you tried this...grease your pan generously with crisco and then dust with sugar (instead of flour).
Sometimes I will mix some cinnamon-sugar and dust the inside of my cake pans with it.
Your Grandmother may have dusted it that way (now I do it with butter flavored crisco).

Oh Cindy, thank you. I will try that....She may have. That was my favorite part of the cake.

you are very welcome, let me know how your next one turns out.

Linda, I forgot to say (imagine that, me forget, yep)...now days I use and mix everything with Splenda or Raw Stevia. Since I am a diabetic, my cooking/baking has changed dramatically. All the recipes that I post, when it calls for sugar (like I used to use) I now use a sugar-substitute.
I really have not had any problems with changing the recipes to substitute's like some stories I've heard from others.

Linda, I'm in the middle of making your Grandmother's pound cake.
Was wondering (if you are on line), about whether you put it in the center of the oven or lower.
I am making it in my antique angel food tube pan and it's pretty tall. Don't want to burn the top of the wonderful cake.

Made a few changes so I can eat some of it....instead of using all the sugar I am using 1 1/2 c Splenda and 1 1/2 c Sugar.
Also I mix my own flour to bake with an I have a jar of 50/50 (I mixed 1/2 white flour and 1/2 whole wheat together)...I'm using that.
I am putting 1/2 the water in a pan and 1/2 in another so I can place one on each side of the cake in the oven (2-water baths).

Hi Cindy, Just got on line. Cindy, I would raise the bottom rack up to the next level and remove the top one. You probably already have it in the oven now...Please let me know how it turns out...I am diabetic so the spendor would be wonderful....

LINDA.....it for sure was already in my over. I just now came in to get back on line.
It is finished and still on the cooling rack. BUT...I've already had a taste.
Didn't you hear me smacking my lips?? It is wonderful, also I did my sugar coating in the pan (on the bottom an up the sides) and it did come out crispy on the outside.
I'd also sprinkled cinn-splenda on the top so it was nice too.
After it was almost cooled, I dusted it with powdered sugar...beautiful. Thank you so much for the recipe, this pound cake will become my friend ;O).

BTW..how does one go about doing the ''Family tested & Approved'' when it's someone elses page???

...that's suppose to be 'oven' not over ;O(
guess I need to do some spell check on my own, since it is a real word, the computer didn't change it (guess the computer is not any smarter than I am...or vice-versa).

Linda...I fingered it out ;O)
(of course you know I mean 'figured', but I was talking in food-terms)
