  • What size bundt pan should be used for the Whipping Cream Pound Cake? Will the cake fit in a 10 cup pan, or should a larger pan be used?

    • Hi Sharon, The Whipping Cream Pound Cake recipe yields 12 cups of batter. You can always use the 10 cup pan, just be careful not to fill the pan more than 2/3 of the way full to avoid overflow. The remaining batter can be used for cupcakes! Happy baking!

  • I have a question vs a comment. Should the heavy cream be cold or room temp for the Whipping Cream Pound Cake?

    • Hi Latyacia, Great question, for best results all ingredients should be at room temperature. Whipping Cream Pound Cake is a Swans Down favorite!

  • I'm relatively new to the pound cake baking world. THIS cake is heavenly and so versatile. I added almond and butter extracts, to the cake and to the glaze. Also topped the glazed cake with toasted almonds. WOW is it good! Making another one tonight!

    • Hi Lupe, Thanks for the wonderful compliment! The Whipping Cream Pound Cake is definitely a Swans Down favorite. Happy baking!

    • Hi Judy, The eggs in this recipe act as the leavening agent. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature, follow the steps in recipe in order, and don't overmix. Happy baking!

  • Hi, I love this recipe! Wondered if you have any updated suggestions for those of us looking for the perfect wedding poundcake unique/distinct creaminess that "some" caterers seem to know about - have tried all the tricks- cream cheese, whipping cream, sour cream, etc.

    • Hi Teri Lynn, Thanks for inquiry! The Whipping Cream Pound Cake is for sure a Swans Down favorite! We've passed your information on to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will be reaching out with a few recommendations for you. Happy baking!

    • Hi Gwen, We haven't testing the recipe to include French Vanilla Pudding, so we're not able to make a recommendation. Just please note if you give it a try, this recipe yields 12 cups of batter. Adding additional ingredients will extend that. Be careful not to fill your pan over 2/3 of the way full to avoid overflow. Let us know if you try it. We'd love to get the results! Happy baking!

    • Mi Michelle, For this recipe you can use margarine instead of butter. Keep in mind that butter will always provide a richer flavor, and its higher fat content will give a lighter more tender texture. Happy baking!

    • Hi Aj, The Whipping Cream Pound Cake yields approx 12 cups of batter. A 10" bundt can be used. To avoid overflow be sure that you do not fill the pan more than 2/3 of the way full. If you have extra batter you can always make a few cupcakes on the side. Happy baking!
