POUND CAKE gets its name from the proportion of ingredients used to make it: a pound of sugar, a pound of butter, a pound of flour, a pound of eggs and a pound on the chest to get your heart started again.

flour can make it more dense, but it can make it more dry as a result. eggs can make it more dense, but it can mess up the pound cake and make it too liquid, less baking soda can as well, but it can make it flat. i dont' know what recipe you are following so i can't say much more.

I dont know what recipe you were using, but this is my Grandmother's recipe, and it is quite heavy and dense, AND moist!
BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE
3 cups sifted flour
3 cups sugar
3 sticks salted butter (softened) (Don't use margarine!)
5 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 325°F. Sift flour 3 times with salt and baking soda, then set aside.
Put softened butter and sugar in mixing bowl, mix for 15 minutes on medium speed.
Break eggs into a bowl, then reduce speed to low. Add eggs one at a time.
Stir vanilla.
Divide flour into three portions then add, alternating with liquid, as follows:
When thoroughly mixed, add one cup of flour, then a half cup of buttermilk, one more cup of flour, then another cup of buttermilk, then the last cup of flour. Mix well, but do not overmix!
(A rubber spatula helps to scrape down sides of bowl while mixing).
Pour batter into a greased and flour-dusted Bundt Pan.
Bake At 325°F for 70-75 minutes for a 12 cup Bundt, or 45-60 minutes when using mini Bundt pans.
Best results are room temperature.
ENJOY!!!

Try underbaking it a bit. Use a cream cheese or sour cream based recipe. Don't use cake flour, use A/P.
