I will be making a pound cake tomorrow that I have made many times. I would like to try something different to see how it effects the texture. I want to use Cake Flour instead of the All Purpose the recipe calls for.

Should I use the same exact measurements for all ingredients or do I need to make some adjustments? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, one more question. The last few times I have made this recipe, the top of the pound cake gets a little crusty and is raised away from the top of the cake. Any ideas why this is happening? The recipe calls to start the cake in a cold oven.

Sorry, I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I do use cake flour for my pound cakes. It makes a much nicer, finer crumb. Maybe someone else can help.

I use cake flour for my pound cakes in equal measurements of the plain flour. It seems that they don't dry out as quickly. I also always put my pound cakes in a cold oven. It takes longer to bake them but this is how I was taught. I even make a white chocolate pound cake that says to preheat the oven but I don't.

You are very welcome! It makes a very good pound cake. My family loves pound cake of any kind but that is their favorite.
