How to Make Delicious Homemade Pound Cake will get you ready to impress everyone with these 8 techniques on making the best pound cake ever!

Pound cakes are delicious desserts that are easy to make at home. They’re often made with butter flavored Crisco stick, sugar, flour, eggs, and sometimes nuts.

Homemade desserts are so much better, have a lot more flavor and your family and guest will be asking for more. You can count on that!

The thing about my pound cake recipe is that you can make so many flavors out of it just besides vanilla. For example, chocolate marbled pound cake, coconut, strawberry, peanut butter, and many more flavors.


I have been baking cakes, cookies, pies, and many other things since I was twelve. So, I do have a few years of experience under my belt or apron should I say. My delicious homemade pound cake. I can’t wait until you try it.

Below you will find my 8 techniques for delicious homemade Pound Cake. Enjoy!

Now pour the prepared mix into the pan (Your batter will be thick). Making sure you get it as even as you can. I usually just give it a few little shakes to spread it out.


7. Bake the Cake

Preheated Oven for my How to Make Delicious Homemade Pound Cake

Place the pound cake into a preheated 350-degree oven. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. When you take the cake out of the oven place it on a cake rack and let it cool completely. For 5 minutes.


8. Check for Doneness

Check for doneness, I do this by inserting a toothpick in the thickest part of the cake. When it comes out clean it’s done. Cool on a cake rack for 5 minutes and then turn out on the cake rake and let it finish cooling and enjoy!

Store on a cake plate.

My Love Affair with Baking

Tiny Glass Mixing Bowls

A Bakers Love Story by Nana was inspired by my awesome mama. My love affair with baking began when I was just a little girl. My mom was a homemaker and loved to bake, so it makes sense that I would grow up to enjoy the same hobby at such an early age. My mom taught me how to bake in the kitchen with her.

When I was about 12 years old, I asked her for my own set of mixing bowls. My mom bought me a complete set of tiny little glass bowls. Yes, they were cute, but boy did they take forever to get the batter out of them after you were done mixing.

I also remember trying to scrape the batter off the tiny little glass bowls with a butter knife. That was not fun at all!


My Own Real Baking Supplies

Measuring Cups and Spoons Baking with Nana: A Bakers Love Story

The first time I ever had my own real baking supplies was when I got into home economics in high school. I attended Villa Rica High School in Villa Rica, Georgia which is where I learned how to bake with real measuring cups and spoons.

I remember making my very first cake, a Red Velvet cake for Christmas. I was 13 years old when I made it and it turned out beautiful and it was quite delicious if I do say so myself. It was so moist, and my family loved it! After that, I was hooked on baking.


Mom, My Great Teacher

Young Daughter and Mom Baking with Nana: A Bakers Love Story

My mom told me what an excellent job I had done. “Well,” I said, “I had a great teacher!” Then I told my mom I wanted to learn how to make homemade biscuits, cornbread, etc.

And guess what? I did it, but not without mistakes along the way. But I was not discouraged, because that is how we learn.

I still make mistakes baking after all these years and you will too. Oh, sure it aggravates the daylights out of me, but you can’t give up, you just got to keep on keeping on. Even if that means starting all over again!! And believe me, honey, I have had to do that.


My Favorite Time of the Year

Nana's Santa Cake Baking with Nana: A Bakers Love Story

I love to cook when I have the time, which I do most days. My favorite time of the year is the holidays. I enjoy getting in my kitchen and baking cakes, cookies, pies, fudge, bread, and actual food.

Are there any other foods besides sweets? Just kidding, of course, there are. I just really enjoy baking sweets.

During the holidays I like making goodies for my family and friends. It just makes me feel good to give them something I have baked homemade, and they always have a big smile on their face and dig in immediately.

It warms my heart to see them enjoying the fruits of my labor. Plus, it makes them feel a little more special and loved.
