Tips for Making Donna's Pound Cake

  • Use room-temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter come together more easily and bake more evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Over-mixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
