If you’ve been reading Call Me PMc for very long, you know I’ve been doing a pound cake review series. Admittedly, I am pretty much obsessed with pound cakes. And, it’s not a recent thing. When I first learned to bake, I’m talking when I was around 11 years old, I went from making cakes from a mix to being fanatical about baking perfect pound cakes.

You can see my most popular pound cake below (click the photo for recipe) or get all of them here.

After the holidays I asked my mom about the pound cakes she used to make to make sure I had covered all the basic recipes: cream cheese, sour cream, whipping cream, buttermilk, ricotta, etc. She had a recipe for Pineapple Pound Cake that was made from a cake mix. I knew that I could make it from scratch and it would be much better.

And it is! This Two Step Pineapple Pound Cake is magnificent! You must try!

I highly, highly recommend you read How to Calibrate your Oven before baking cakes especially pound cakes. Nine times out of ten if your cake is too brown on the outside and still doughy on the inside it is because your oven isn’t baking at the temperature on the display.

Another error that can be made when baking is not measuring correctly. Hop over and read this post on How to Correctly Measure Flour. The information is about halfway down that post. For cakes and pound cakes, it’s super important.

Another important post is my How to Bake the Perfect Pound Cake. Although this Two Step Pineapple Pound Cake uses a slightly different mixing method, there is still a lot of great tips in that post.

My favorite pan for baking pound cakes is this 10-inch two-part tube pan.

Store this cake in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days on the countertop. Or, it will be good up to 7 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Additionally, eggs need to be whisked before adding them to the mix.

  • Alternately, add the sifted flour and buttermilk beginning and ending with flour. Add the vanilla. Fold in the pineapple by hand.

    Can I use gluten free flour for the recipes? I have celiac disease and need them to be gluten free.

      I haven’t tested it with gluten free flour, but the 1:1 gluten-free flours should work.

    Hello,

    I REALLY want to make this cake, but I am not sure how to make the eggs “frothy”. Can you provide guidance on that or a link that shows how to do it? When I try looking it up, I only get links for egg whites.

      I usually whisk the eggs by hand but you can use a mixer. Just beat them for 3 to 4 minutes until they get tiny air bubbles in them. They get slightly lighter in color.
