Pound Cake
This is a traditional pound cake made with butter, all-purpose flour, sugar and eggs. I have different pound cake recipes made with other ingredients, for example: cream cheese, lemon, Meyer lemon, blueberry, pumpkin, almond, nutella and matcha green tea. This recipe came from The Cake Book. It’s the best pound cake recipe ever! It yields extremely buttery, rich, and moist cake that you can’t stop eating.

Baking Tips
For the best results, please follow my baking tips below:
Use heavy cream. It’s the secret ingredient in this recipe, making the cake extremely rich and moist. Bake the cake using two loaf pans. Stacking two pans together will make sure that the cake has a nice brown color without a thick crust. To avoid the pound cake becoming overly brown at the top (and inside not cooked through), cover the cake with aluminum foil at 30 minutes mark or after the top of the cake is set.
