Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your pound cake. Make sure to use fresh butter, eggs, and milk, and high-quality flour and sugar.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, alternating with the milk: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving: This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
