Pound Cake Tips + Tricks
Whether you are a beginner or have been in the baking game for a while, I hope these tips are helpful in making sure that your pound cake comes out great!
⇢ Properly measure your ingredients – Always measure each ingredient before adding it to the cake to make sure that you have the accurate amount of each ingredient for the recipe. Baking requires exact measurements for the cake to come out correctly.
⇢ Always use room temperature ingredients – Standard pound cake ingredients include butter and eggs which should always be a room temperature to ensure that they properly blend into the batter and do not cause any clumping. Other common ingredients such as milk, cream cheese, etc should also be a room temperature. Make sure to allow enough time before baking to remove the ingredients from the refrigerator and sit them on the counter to allow them to come to room temperature.
⇢ Properly cream the butter and sugar together– Once blended the texture should be light and fluffy. Blend the ingredients together at a moderate speed for a least two to three minutes.
⇢ Add the eggs one at a time– Eggs must be added one at a time blending well after each addition. Once you’ve added an egg to the batter and no longer see any yellow, then you can add another egg to the batter.
⇢ Don’t overmix your batter– Aside from creaming the butter and sugar together, once done adding an ingredient, immediately start adding the next ingredient. If you are not quite ready, stop the mixer until you're ready to add the next ingredient. After you have added the last ingredient, just mix until blended. If the batter still requires mixing, for example, if there is any unmixed batter on the side of the bowl, finish the mixing process using a spoon.
⇢ Spray the hell out of your bundt pan - My favorite method is using a baking spray such as Baker’s Joy which includes the flour and oil all in one can. It's always a no-fail method for me and the cake comes right out of the pan. You can also grease the pan with oil (solid or liquid) then dust the pan evenly with flour if you prefer that method.
Frequently asked questions:
I found mine at Walmart, but they can also be found at most specialty stores.
Store the cake in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Yes. I recommend freezing the cake for no more than three months for the best flavor. Once you remove the cake from the freezer, allow it to thaw at room temperature before unwrapping it.

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for that great idea of the cookie butter cake. After a few adjustments to the batter, it came out perfectly and everyone loved it. As far as the adjustments, because I bake a ton of pound cakes, I used 6 eggs and a full 8oz block of cream cheese, a half teaspoon of salt and baking powder. Those alterations allowed my cake to pour more smoothly into the cake pan and was more of the consistency that I was used to and it baked perfectly.

Great Debra! I'm glad you made it work for you and enjoyed the cake!
