Granny Foster's Simple Pound Cake

Making this convinced me that baking cakes is just not my forte. I followed the instructions to the letter, but even after extending the baking time to over 2 hours, the inside of the cake was still runny. Fortunately, it set up while it cooled, and we were able to eat it. It actually tasted very good -- perhaps a bit too much on the sweet side -- but there is clearly something off with the ingredients or the instructions. Also, this makes a gigantic cake.
