Hi Sarah! This can fit in 2 loaf pans. I have had others report a 45-50 minute bake time in loaf pans, but I haven’t tried it myself so I would just keep an eye on them. 🙂

I’m so sorry to hear this, Kristi! Is it possible your oven is running hot? It sounds like part of it was over-baked and part of it was under-baked. 🙁 5 dozen eggs a day is going to be a lot of cake! I thought I was getting a lot with 2 dozen a day. I hope it goes better next time. 🙂

I wanted to love this recipe but it didn’t turn out for me. I am getting 5 dozen eggs a day from my chickens so wanted to make this cake and use a bunch of them. Well, I baked it for 1 hour and 20 minutes and it seemed done with a wooden skewer and I didn’t want it to over bake. I let it rest and came back to cut the cake and the whole middle was not done and it deflated. Any ideas what went wrong?

Hi Ryan! Unfortunately I am not sure that sour cream will make it more moist. This should be a pretty moist cake. Is there any chance there may have been a bit too much flour or it may have baked for a minute or two too long?

Hi John! I’m so sorry to hear this! The only real reason for a pound cake to sink is it being under-baked. 🙁 Did you check the very center? Did you cut into it? How did it look?

After testing with a skewer and insuring the cake was done, I took it out to rest for 20, plus minutes. I walked away and came back to a deflated cake. Kinda concerned because this is for a dinner party tonight.

Have you tried a chocolate version? Wondering if reducing flour and affing that much cocoa powder if that would work. 🤔

In reply to Mia.

Hi Mia, there shouldn’t be a leavening agent in this recipe, that’s intentional and would not make the cake creamy at all, but would make it airy which would directly contradict the result that you want with this recipe. Unfortunately it sounds like the cake was over-baked if it was dry (could your oven be running hot?), though it’s also possible the flour was accidentally over-measured. 🙁

This is the driest cake I’ve ever made in my life I wasted all the ingredients the only thing that was missing was some kind of leveling powder you need it to rise to make it creamy

I doubled the vanilla extract because I wanted a more robust vanilla flavor. The cake turned out PERFECTLY!!! MOIST, BUTTERY, AND DELICIOUS!!!

Hi Leisa! That will work. You will want to cut the salt by 1/2 teaspoon to account for the extra salt in the butter. 🙂
