Don’t forget to soften your butter for the preparation. Take it out for this, 30 minutes before or otherwise heat it slightly in the microwave.

Adjust the recipe as you wish. You can add lemon zest, fresh vanilla or even chocolate chips depending on what you prefer. “Treat yourself. It’s good to customize the pound cake to make it even more delicious.” says the chief.

Place it on a rack at the end of cooking to cool: “This is very important so that there is no moisture underneath and therefore to keep the pound cake nice and soft.”

Generally, the pound cake is very simple to make. The most complicated part is usually the cooking. This is why it is imperative to have an oven at 170°C: “We will then put the pound cake in the oven, we will try to avoid opening the oven door for too long, otherwise your cake will collapse and not rise optimally”. Sometimes you have to cook it all the way through to make it perfect in the middle.

“If it’s too dry, your pound cake is overcooked.” specifies the chef. To remedy this, the best thing is to soak it after cooking in a little syrup so that it rehydrates.

The best way to store it is to wrap it in aluminum foil or cling film. “But anyway, it’s so good that I’m sure there won’t be a crumb left.” says Chef Damien.

So now it’s your turn to test!
