  1. My oven took a little longer and I added chocolate chips and this is the best cake I have ever made, thank you for the recipe and everything.

  2. I followed the recipe to a “t” and it was just ok. It was nice and moist but I found it a little bland. I think next time I will increase the spices. Thank you for a good base.

  3. Hi Angie, I wish I could give you more information, but all I’ve got is I’ve read baked goods take longer to bake because of the lower air pressure. You might need to increase oven temperature and/or increase cooking time. Start with one or the other and see how it works. Good luck!

  4. Great to know Mia! I love monk fruit as a healthy sugar substitute! That stuff is amazing! Thank you so much for letting us know your experience with making it Keto and I’m so glad it came out perfect for you. xo

  5. Made it for my husband to enjoy as I am keto. Substituted coconut oil for the butter and used monk fruit rather than sugar. Came out perfect.

  6. Hi Soloa, you are correct, softened butter and cinnamon added with flour / dry ingredients. Updated in instructions. Thanks for letting me know and I hope it worked out for you.

  7. When are you supposed to add the cinnamon? That isn’t specified in the instructions. Mine was in the over before I realized something was missing. Also, is the butter supposed to be softened?

  8. how would this be with ice cream? I WANT to layer it with butter pecan ice cream and whip cream topping. You mentioned it freezes well. I do this with other pound cake, but not so much with breads. THAnks

  9. I tried this recipe today for some kids, and it was a hit! I used mashed banana as egg substitute and added my homemade pumpkin spice. Thank you for the recipe ?

  10. Oh man, I would love to have a great big slice of that Pumpkin Pound Cake with a cup of coffee right now!! 😀 Looks so very moist and delicious!!

  11. Yes please! This cake sounds so delicious, I think I need to double the recipe – one for me and one for the rest of the fam. Not that they don’t deserve it as much as me, but, you know, it’s pound cake! So so yum! Thanks for the recipe!

  12. If the title begins with COPYCAT STARBUCKS, then my family is sure to devour it!! We are huge Starbucks’ fans and sure spend a fair share. I’m sure the entire whole loaf will cost as much as one slice:) I’m gonna try it soon.
