Tips:

  • As the cake is baked in a cold oven, be sure to use a pan that is also cold. A cold pan will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during the baking time as this can cause the cake to fall.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to test the doneness of the cake. When inserted into the center of the cake, it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
  • For a richer flavor, use butter or margarine instead of shortening.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
  • For a nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • For a citrusy flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest or orange zest.
  • For a chocolate pound cake, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the batter.
