Becky’s Tips
My Mom started making this recipe in 2008. She sold this deliciousness at her baked goods booth years ago and it brought her many repeat customers. She has tweaked it over the years and it is better than ever. It’s still our favorite pound cake and I love the crunchy top and sugared sides and bottom. Enjoy!
Be sure to grease your pan before adding the cake batter so that it’s easy to remove.
Bake the cake in a fully preheated oven so that it cooks through evenly.
Storage: Store classic pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
