My pound cake crust too , but IMHO I think that crust is the best tasting part of the cake.

Exactly as Bakerlady2 said, my pound cakes also crust on top and, like the edges of brownies, is the yummiest part of the cake!  I think that is the nature of pound cake.

If it bothers you that much why not try my *original* WASC recipe?   It was developed to be 'near a scratch pound cake' w/o all the measuring/work involved  & doesn't crust (much) on the top:)     http://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/7445/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe
