FAQs: Bundt Cakes

What is the difference between a pound cake and a bundt cake?

Not much. Essentially, the defining characteristic of a bundt cake is that it’s baked in a bundt pan. So it typically has a decorative exterior. Pound cake recipes are most often used for bundt cakes. But you can bake any dense cake recipe in a bundt pan and call it a bundt cake!

Why is a pound cake called a pound cake?

Originally, back in the 1700’s, a pound cake recipe called for a pound each of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.

What is the secret to a moist pound cake?

Always, always, always use room temperature ingredients. You wouldn’t believe the difference this makes in creating moisture and the perfect tender crumb in any cake!

Tips to Make the BEST Pound Cake

Use high-quality ingredients. It really does make a difference.
Use a well-greased pan. I have found that using Bakers Joy Cake Pan Spray works best.
ALWAYS bring your cold ingredients likes eggs and butter to room temperature. This makes the biggest difference in producing a tender crumb and a moist cake.
Take the time to spread the batter evenly in the pan before baking it. This way the cake bakes evenly, and you don’t end up with pockets of batter or burnt edges.

Ok, so I read the title of this and thought it said 60+ pound cake. OMG how do you make a cake that weighs that much?! LOL. I’m a nerd. This post is much better than a sixty pound cake.

I’ll happily take a slice of each and then go crawl into a hole and hibernate and feel bad about all of the sugar I just ate. But totally worth it.

Mmm these look delicious! Especially for the holidays. I would bake the triple chocolate pound cake and serve it with drinks. There’s some amazing holiday cocktail recipes that would pair well with these pound cakes in the link.
