The cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might have overcooked it a little. I'll try it again with a lower oven temperature next time.

This pound cake turned out amazing! It was so moist and flavorful. I loved that I didn't have to wait for the oven to preheat, which saved me time. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for an easy and delicious pound cake.
