Easy Pound Cake
I prefer an easy pound cake. I've tried several different ones, but have not got it right yet.

Hi Pat,
Funny, Deondre asked about pound cake a little bit ago – you can read the question and my answer here: Pound cake question. And rest assured, all the recipes I mention are quite easy. And, of course, delicious! (P.S.: Don't worry if the top of the pound cake gets a crack in it -- that is quite common and doesn't detract from the taste of the cake. In fact, many people think it makes it taste better, because you get some crunchy pieces.)

Question
Hi Denise,
My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon! I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie. The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.
And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?
