YesA 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.
Salted
both are fine.
A pound cake is a sweet. It is a cake which was originally made using a pound each of the following ingredients; sugar, flour, butter and eggs. The result is a very tender, rich cake that is dense and satisfying. Sweet and delicious!
do you want a salty cake
Might be too heavy, leading to soggy or a dense textured cake. You can substitute applesauce-the amount is half of what the recipe calls for.
Yes, butter can be substituted for shortening in most recipes. The resulting product will have more intense flavor, but may be a bit flatter or thinner. When using salted butter, one should also reduce the additional salt called for in the recipe.
It can, but that is not the origin of the name. A pund cake was originally called that bexause it involved a pound (one pound butter, one pound flour, one pound sugar, ect.) of each of the ingredients.
You can use any other oil or lard. Cream and other milk products may contain enough fat to have much the same effect as the butter on the texture and taste of your cake. As for fat-free options you could search for and experiment with vegetable gums such as Guar Gum, Pectin, Xantham Gum, etc... that are used in industrial baking as fat substitutes.
Yes but add just a bit of salt with it~!
i wouldn't because a pound cake is much more dense than a normal cake.
Use more butter?
