Milk Pound Cake: Fluffy with 20g of Milk

This time, I increased the amount of milk to 20g and made a pound cake. The method was the same as last time: I folded in the meringue at the end and took the cake out of the pan after it had cooled slightly. The result was a very light and fluffy texture, likely due to the increased milk. Adding more liquid makes it softer, but letting it cool in the pan seems to prevent the sides from collapsing.

Raisin Pound Cake: The Raisins Sank, but the Taste Was Perfect

This time, I made a raisin pound cake. When it was done, the raisins had all sunk to the bottom, but the taste was great. Since dried fruit has less moisture, it's easy to work with because the pound cake doesn't get sticky. I'll need to figure out how to keep the raisins from sinking next time.

Pound Pan Chiffon Cake 2: No Rise Due to Oiled Pan

I tried making a chiffon cake in a pound cake pan. This time, to make it easier to remove from the pan, I greased the inside. The finished cake only rose to about half or two-thirds the height of the pan. It had risen to about 90% of the pan's height during baking, but it seems to have shrunk. What's more, when I cooled it upside down without removing it, it shrank by about another half and fell out of the pan. The texture became chewy. The oil I applied to the pan might be the cause. […]

Soy Milk Pound Cake 5. Fluffy, based on a chiffon cake recipe.
