Tips & Substitutions
To ensure a perfectly baked pound cake, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and eggs. If you don’t have whipping cream, you can substitute with whole milk or half-and-half, but the texture may be slightly different. For added flavor, consider adding lemon or almond extract in addition to vanilla.
