Ginevra Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'm making DS a pound cake for his 17th birthday today. :) I'm a pretty decent baker/cook, but I have never made a pound cake before. The recipe I have (kitchen aide mixer cookbook) has the cake in a 10" tube pan, but I don't want to use that; I want to use a loaf pan. What adjustments to time, if any, do I need to make for this to turn out well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 They were pretty close when I've baked the same cake in a tube vs. loaf. Loaf might have been a tiny bit longer but I didn't write it down. You really need to check for doneness especially when adapting. fyi You'll have to make two loaf pans or turn some surplus into cupcakes/bars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Most recipes have wide ranges of 40-60 minutes for loaves. You'll just have to keep an eye on it! And it will make two loaves instead of one tube as PP said. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I typically make pound cake in round layers or in a bundt pan. Round layers (9") cook about 35 minutes. Bundt cooks about 60-75 minutes. I would think loaf pans (yes, a recipe for a 10" tube pan will make 2 loaves) would need about 40-45 minutes, so I'd probably set my timer for 35 and start checking every 5-10 minutes after that until a toothpick comes out clean. (And as a bonus, you can freeze the 2nd loaf - pound cake freezes very well!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks everyone for that great advice. I used two loaf pans; they took about 50 minutes and everybody LOOOOVED it! (I haven't had a piece myself yet. Too full of chicken parmesan!) :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
