A pound cake is not a simple dessert to make. Because of the density, it takes just the right amount of ingredients, mixing, and baking to get it right. If you don’t do one of the steps correctly, you’ll have a cake that is dry, flat, and lack flavor!
However, the perfect pound cake is rich, velvety, buttery with that crusty top with love so much. ❤
I feel like I’ve mastered the correct ratios of ingredients, dialed in the optimum mixing time, and learned when a pound cake is cooked perfectly. (Although cooking depends greatly on your oven and if it’s calibrated correctly. Read How to Calibrate your Oven.)
