A different answer:
Butter is a major ingredient in pound cake and the primary source of flavor. Substituting margarine for butter might produce a cake, but it would be an imitation of a pound cake, just as margarine is an inexpensive imitation of butter.

∙ 13y agoCertainly, in a one-to-one proportion (i.e. 1/2 cup butter = 1/2 cup margarine). You may find, however, that the flavor isn't quite as good. Also, keep an eye on the baking time. Most margarine is just solidified vegetable oil, so the texture of the cake will be a little different.

Why do you need to put soft margarine in a cake?
Whether you choose to use butter or soft margarine for a cake, all of your cake ingredients should be room temperature. Margarine or butter needs to be room temperature to make it easier to cream. If it is too cold, or too warm, the cake won't rise properly. Creaming the butter with room temperature butter or margarine allows air to incorporate into it properly.
