Pound Cake disaster

One of my specialties is "Mama's Pound Cake" by Paula Deen. I love to make these as gifts and people never fail to rave over the results.  Delicious!! Well, I've made 2 today. Each of which stuck to the pan. Go figure? We ate them anyway. Of course I did not give either as a gift. I will bake another and grease the pan heavier. Did I mention that someone soaked my stone bundt pan? Just like an iron skillet you never soak a stone pan. I learned the hard way.....a dozen eggs later.
