    Recipe Hints and Tips

    The times in this recipe are based on butter being at room temperature (approximately 24 degrees celsius) if your butter is still quite firm (doesn't give when pressed) then the time it takes to combine with the sugar will increase.

    You want the butter and sugar mixture to be pale and creamy before moving onto the next step.

    After adding the eggs the mixture will look curdled, please don't worry this is completely fine!

    You can bake your Pound Cake in a loaf or round cake tin, however please note the cooking time will vary.

    The cake will develop a golden crust, this is normal. If you feel your cake is getting too brown, simply cover the top with some foil.

    Store the cooked cake in an airtight container in a cool dry place and enjoy wishing one week.

    This cake is freezer friendly.

      Hi maybe again. Asked some things yet not sure went through. Can I substitute an amount of sour cream for the butter and if so, how much of each should I use? Also, as I don’t have a fan oven, what would the temperature and time be for the poundcake? Thank you
