This is one mammoth pound cake that we are sharing today. Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients List:

  • Flour + Salt + Baking Soda + Baking Powder
  • Sugars: Brown & White
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Butter
  • Oil ( Canola or vegetable)
  • Plain Greek yogurt ( or sour cream)
  • Caramel Sauce

What Does Cold Oven Mean? Normally, you will preheat your oven before baking. However, with a cold oven cake, you don’t. You literally place your pan filled with batter into a cold oven. Then, you turn on the oven temperature and bake.

This pound cake is very heavy and doesn’t rise much. Starting it in a cold oven will let it rise slowly, along with the oven temp.

Homemade Caramel Sauce: I have included a link to my favorite ( and very easy) homemade caramel sauce recipe in the recipe card. If desired, use your own recipe or favorite store bought brand.

Pan Size: You will need 10-12 cup bundt (fluted) pan for this cake. If you don’t have one, the batter will also fit into 2- 8/9 inch loaf pans.

Tips for a Perfect Bundt Removal:

  • Use a generous amount of non stick baking spray. You can also use a good old fashion stick of butter to grease it too or use a cooking spray with flour included in. See recipe card for my preferred brand.
  • Make sure your cake is well cooled before attempting to remove it. Let it sit 10-15 minutes beforehand. Gently, take a sharp knife and run it along the edge and middle of the cake.
  • Tip the cake upside down on a plate. Be sure the plate is larger than your cake. Let the cake fall naturally and if it’s still stubborn, give the bottom of your cake pan a gentle tap.
