15 Perfect Pound Cake Recipes

1. Traditional Pound Cake 

The best way to start our list is with the most classic of it all. 

This recipe uses the essential ingredients and ratios. That is one pound each of large eggs, all-purpose flour, salted butter, and sugar. 

If you want a smaller dish, you can adjust the measurements but preserve the equal parts ratio. Although, you might as well call it less-than-a-pound cake, right? 

You can use a loaf pan, bundt pan, or tube pan. This one was designed for a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Your cake comes out clean in less than an hour if you followed the recipe.
