Faq's
A loaf cake is always baked in a loaf pan whereas a pound cake is baked in various pans like bundt cake pan, round pan, square pan, or loaf pan.
Yes! Make sure to grease the pan with butter or oil spray and line it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
We used a 12x5-inch loaf pan. This loaf pan is quite big. You can also use two smaller loaf pans for these recipes.
Loaf Cake Expert Tips
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper! This step helps the cake to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your loaf cake will release easily from the pan.
- Let the loaf cool completely before you top it with the glaze to prevent it from melting everywhere.
- Avoid opening the oven door to check if the bread is ready. This can cause the bread to sink in the middle.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist bread and not dense and dry bread.
- Use fresh ingredients! It is important that you check if your baking soda is active and hasn't expired. This can make or break how your bread rises.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with the back of a knife.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat this bread as it is pulled out of the oven, but let the loaf cool for at least 20 minutes so it will be firmer and won’t crumble up.
