Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter – It can make the cake tough.
- Use an oven thermometer – Pound cakes need even baking, so make sure your oven runs true to temp.
- Test for doneness – A toothpick or cake tester should come out clean with just a few crumbs.
- Glaze consistency – If your cream cheese frosting is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it drizzles smoothly.
