Question 1

WHY IS MY POUND CAKE DRY?

Accepted Answer

Your cake might be dry if you add too much flour. I like to measure my flour using a kitchen scale so that I know exactly how much I am using. If you don't have a kitchen scale, check out how to measure correctly.

Another reason your cake might be too dry is if you bake it for too long. Be sure to keep an eye on the cake, since it is in the oven for so long. Test it with a cake skewer after 60 minutes to see if it is done. If not, let it go for just another 2-3 minutes and check again.

Question 2

HOW IS POUND CAKE DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR CAKE?

Accepted Answer

Pound cake is generally heavy on the butter. It focuses more on creaming the butter and sugar together, similar to what would usually happen in a cookie recipe. That makes the pound cake a little more dense, but so buttery and soft!

Question 3

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT BERRY IN THIS POUND CAKE RECIPE?​

Accepted Answer

If you aren't a huge fan of blackberries, you can certainly use a different kind of berry if you prefer! You can use raspberries, blueberries, or even strawberries. Just be aware of those seeds.

You could go another fruit direction and make a citrus pound cake instead, using the zest and juice of the citrus.
