Pound Cake
Pound cake is a popular cake that gets its name from its traditional ingredient measurements; one pound each of flour, butter, eggs and sugar. However, since the traditional cake when baked is large, the quantities in the measurements are commonly decreased to make the cake smaller. As long as you use the same amount of each of those ingredients on a 1:1:1:1 ratio, the cake will identical to the traditional pound cake recipe. Modern cooks generally measure ingredients in grams or cups and many have forgotten how pound cake got its name. Usually baked as a loaf or in a tube pan, pound cake is served with either a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzled with glaze and sometimes with a coat of icing.

How would you substitute loaf pans for a 10 inch tube pan when baking a pound cake?
One does not bake cake pans. Cake batter is poured into cake pans and then the cake is baked in the pan. A cake in a 10" pan is baked like any other cake, in a moderately hot oven (325 - 350 degrees F) until it tests done. Because the batter in the center of a 10" pan takes longer to bake than the batter nearer to the edge, it can be helpful to use the lower range of suggested temperatures. Another useful hint is to tie a dampened rag around the outer edge of the cake pan. This keeps the outer edge slightly cooler and allows the cake batter to heat more evenly throughout.

Can you use a 9x13 pan instead of a small bundt pan for a pound cake?
To work this out you must work out the area of the pan it was meant to be baked in, and the total area of the pan(s) that you wish to bake the cake in. If there is a significant difference in these two figures, you need to adapt the quantity of the recipe that you are making (i.e. you may need to make 1.5 times the recipe etc...) in order to fit the pans that you wish to use.
Area of loaf pan = lengh x width
Area of circular tins= pi x radius^2 (radius squared). Radius is distance from centre of tin to the outer edge (4.5 inches in this case).
Any baking recipe can be made in a different sized pan so long as the areas are similar (normal baking time may not apply; just keep an eye on it whist it's in the oven).
