Here’s the wild part: Fridge air is dry. That open Tupperware is a crime scene. Your cake will dry out faster than a desert lizard.
How Long To Bake Pound Cake
Always wrap it tight before refrigerating. Double wrap. Triple wrap. Use a zip-top bag. Squeeze out the air. Treat it kindly.
Freezer burn is the enemy. It turns your cake into a weird, icy sponge. But it’s still edible! Just ugly. Ugly cake is still cake. We don’t judge.
The “Sniff Test” Is Your Friend
Trust your nose. Does it smell like butter and vanilla? Perfect. Does it smell like a gym locker? Run.
Pound cake goes bad quietly. It gets hard, then dry, then… stale cardboard. No screaming. No drama. Just a quiet decline.
Use your eyes too. If it’s hard as a hockey puck, it’s still okay. If it’s slimy or fuzzy, it’s a science experiment. Not lunch.
