Our local bakery closed and now all we have in my neighborhood (and in
many surrounding ones as well) is a bakery in a chain grocery store -
yuk. I am trying to duplicate the recipe for poundcake that came from
this bakery. Are there any "commercial" bakers out there who can tell
me what flavorings they might add to a "bakery" made poundcake? I've
tried several recipes for poundcake but none of them have the right
"taste".

Why not post what you've done, so we can see what flavorings you are using?
Did you put Almond Extract in it? That seems to be common,
