Hello – I would be grateful for your help. My parents made a pound cake on their first date and will soon celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary(!).
I’d like to try and make the cake as close to original as possible (unless it’s awful, then I’ll pivot to one already here )😂.
My immediate questions are what does the 4x sugar mean and how big of a box would that have been since my flour measurement is based on the box… ?
If upon reading, anyone has other insight or advice, I am open. I am a decent baker, but still what I would consider a novice. I just really want to make the effort to give them this sentimental gift.
Thank you in advance!
