Entenmann's Pound Cake Recipe #52558
I have divine childhood memories of Entenmann's pound cake, which my mother rarely buy since she would usually bake her own. I found this recipe on a copycat site, and never ever thought of using powdered sugar before.

Answer 3

You can make a simple, excellent pound cake by "cheating" and using a regular boxed mix cake (Duncan Hines is my preferred, when I must bake and don't have time for a from-scratch cake).

While mixing, add a small package of instant pudding (vanilla, lemon or chocolate) and use butter instead of vegetable oil. It will be dense and delicious!
