Recipes FAQ

Can I make this pound cake ahead of time?

Yes! This cake can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Can I use salted butter in this recipe?

If you use salted butter, omit the salt called for in the recipe.

Can I use a different size cake pan?

Yes, but you'll need to adjust the baking time accordingly. A larger pan will result in a thinner cake that bakes faster, while a smaller pan will result in a thicker cake that takes longer to bake.

Recipe Tips

  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • If the top of the cake is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  • For a lemon pound cake, add the zest of one lemon to the batter before baking.
