Question 1

Is pound cake better with milk or water?

Accepted Answer

A cake made with water will definitely have a lighter, more airy texture. If you replace the water with milk, the recipe will instantly become more decadent, softer, and tender. Also, if you add buttermilk, the texture will become creamier and richer.

Question 2

How do you know when a pound cake is done?

Accepted Answer

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick at the center and if it comes out with little to no crumbs on it, you can take the pan out of the oven. Also, ensure to check on it after about the 50-minute mark, not to overcook it. Because many ovens are different, it is better to check one extra time than to have a burnt dessert.

Question 3

How to make Starbucks Lemon Pound Cake?

Accepted Answer

Just follow this recipe! It is a copycat recipe for the Starbucks' Iced Lemon Loaf. On their website, you will find the ingredients though most of them are uncommon. It stated there that they use unsalted butter and buttermilk (though we used sour cream, feel free to substitute). For a more similar taste, add in about half a teaspoon of lemon extract as they don't use the fresh citrus as we do in this version.
