Lemon Pound Cake Loaves Tips
Is loaf cake the same as pound cake?
They’re similar, but there are some important distinctions.
Traditional pound cake is made with one pound each of butter, eggs, sugar and flour. Loaf cake simply refers to any cake that is baked in a
loaf pan. This can include pound cake recipes, or other cakes and
quick breads that boast a cakelike texture.
What makes a loaf cake moist?
The sour cream in this lemon loaf cake recipe yields a moist cake. If you're using another recipe, try adding a tablespoon or two of sour cream. It’s also recommended that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before beating.
