(No extra yolks left over) This cake came out beautifully. It released from the pan easily and the cooking time was right on and the color was a beautiful brown. This is why I gave it a 2 star. My problem was, the cake was dry and not very flavorful. Pure maple extract may have been a good option to give it a flavor boost. As for the cakes dryness, I think I will stick with my moms chiffon black walnut cake.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"6098","romance_copy_dek":"I still remember my grandmother making this cake when I was a child...oh, how good it smelled and tasted!","enhanced_recipe_title":"Black Walnut Pound Cake","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup butter, softened","IngredientText":"1 cup butter, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup shortening","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup shortening"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3 cups sugar","IngredientText":"3 cups sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"5 large eggs","IngredientText":"5 large eggs"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3 cups all-purpose flour","IngredientText":"3 cups all-purpose flour"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon baking powder","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon baking powder"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup whole milk","IngredientText":"1 cup whole milk"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 to 1\/2 teaspoon almond extract","IngredientText":"1\/4 to 1\/2 teaspoon almond extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup chopped black walnuts","IngredientText":"1 cup chopped black walnuts"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:<\/b>","IngredientText":"CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:<\/b>"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened","IngredientText":"1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 cup butter, softened","IngredientText":"1\/4 cup butter, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3-3\/4 cups confectioners' sugar","IngredientText":"3-3\/4 cups confectioners' sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/300x300\/exps6098_DM1002C15.jpg","RecipeId":6098,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Black Walnut Pound Cake Recipe photo by Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"exps6098_DM1002C15.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Betty","Lastname":"Godfrey","City":"Salisbury","StateDescription":"North Carolina","IsCommunityCook":false,"ContributorAttachmentFileName":"https:\/\/cdn3.tmbi.com\/toh\/Recipe\/testkitchenapproved.png","TimeCallout":"Prep: 15 min.
