FAQs

1. Can I use fresh or canned pineapple?

2. Can I substitute strawberry puree with jam?

Yes, strawberry jam can be used. Reduce the sugar slightly if the jam is very sweet.

3. Why did my pound cake crack on top?

Cracking is normal in pound cakes. It happens as the dense batter rises. It won’t affect texture.

4. Can I freeze the pound cake?

Absolutely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Glaze after thawing for best texture.

Avoid overbaking, keep pineapple slightly moist, and store in an airtight container.
