    Perfect! Delicious! And so easy! No fuss or mess! Took 1h 30 minutes which includes the mixing time in the machine. Scrape the sides and bottom WELL during the first 3-5 minutes of mixing,as she mentioned in the instructions, and the cake should turn out perfectly! After the timer went, I unplugged the machine and let the cake continue to “cook” for about 20 more minutes. Golden brown and cooked through.

  3. Hi
    Love the site. Have the Zojirushi breadmaker but want to make Chocolate pound cake. I have tried adding chocolate chips but just sank to the bottom. How much coco powder do you think I should add? I was thinking 1/4 to 1/2 but not sure.

    This did not fully cook for the 1hr 33 minutes cake cycle. I will just put it in the oven to cook the rest of the way and hope that works. So sad as this was a student project for my high needs education class.

  5. I did what it said in the recipe.it rise well cooked out side but still gooie in middle I used the cake cycle I have a Russell Hobbs bread maker

  6. I’m trippin because I have that same Alice in Wonderland mug in the photo, lol. I’m going to try to make a coconut version of this cake in my mother’s old bread machine. I have a new Breville on the way but hers works okay as long as you start testing the bread for doneness early because otherwise it always overbakes.

  7. I have used your recipe twice now, and the pound cake has turned out great both times. The first time, I made a tropical fruit and coconut conserve. Today I sliced it into 3 layers and placed lemon pudding in between and a lemon drizzle on top. Thank you for the recipe.

  8. This was my very first thing I made in my Pioneer Woman Artisan Bread maker and wow! It turned out perfect! Gone by the next day, devoured by my 14 yr old! Lol Thank you for this recipe! I am about to start it up again for my annual tradition of goodie making and have a question. Can I add to this recipe, like, use it for a basic and add lemon and blueberries, or chocolate chips? It’s been YEARS since I’ve had a bread maker and, getting older here y’all, can’t remember exactly what I can and can not do! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! And BTW… MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! ❤️?️?

    • Your comment made my day! I’m so glad you liked the pound cake.

      I haven’t tried adding anything else to the recipe, but check out the comments. Other people have and have had some tasty sounding results.

      Merry Christmas!

  9. I followed the pound cake recipe on a Zioryshi bread machine, similar to what the author has. However my pound cake comes out brown inside and out. Is the sugar caramelizing in the machine.

  10. Well this was my second recipe from your site and both gave me the same scare, they were so tiny and no rise. Once again waiting til finished and perfection.

    My only addition was some apple pie seasonung

  11. I have a FoodNetwork Bread Maker with a CAKE cycle. Why does it take two or more hours to make this pound cake recipe on the CAKE cycle? I’m talking about the mixing, setting/resting and baking. At this rate couldn’t I just mix it in my mixer and transfer to the oven?

  12. I made this pound cake today, but made it into a lemon pound cake. I added lemon zest to the batter, brushed it while warm with lemon syrup and then glazed with lemon powder sugar glaze. Oh heavens! Amazing.

    • Yes. Just be sure that the quick bread cycle is for things without yeast. We’re talking banana bread and cornbread.

      This as opposed to the quick/rapid cycle. That’s for yeast bread using rapid rise yeast.

  13. We made the pound cake in our Hamilton bread maker cake setting perfect. The just made it again use cinnamon peanut butter and walnuts amazing add wet ingredients then dry

  14. Love this recipe! Today I am adding chopped aplles to it. I hope iy will work well. Thank you for such a lovely basic recipe for the bdead machine. 5 stars!!

    • I tried making this in my Hamilton Beach on the quick bread setting. I put all wet ingredients in first and dry ingredients on top. I also ended up with a very bad result with huge gaps of unmixed flour like a couple other people mentioned in the comments. It was just awful and a complete waste. I do not recommend making this unless you have the same bread maker the poster has with the cake setting.

      • I have a hamilton beach, and it worked out great. Cake settings and light crust 50 minutes. I use a sieve for the all purpose flour to put some air

        • Mine wasn’t completely cooked. Still liquify in center. Hamilton beach also. Same setting as yours… was your cooked through?

  15. I find that if you take a spatula and scrape around the outside of the pan during the initial mixing, the bread comes out perfect. Thanks for a great bread machine recipe.

    • I had the same thing with my cuisinart and what size loaf are we suppose to pick I picked 1 1/2 and it’s a very small loaf but consistancy seems like normal pound cake

    • According to my experience, this happens when the flour is put in the pan first. In bread machines, it is very important to put all liquids (e.g. water, eggs, milk etc.)first and add the flour and other dry ingredients later.
