Hey friends! I'm just curious to know what the difference between a pound cake and a sponge cake? They taste pretty similar to me, but I've read conflicting information online. Can you clarify if they're actually different?
 
Aside from their ingredients, you can actually differentiate them with their texture. Pound cake has a dense and moist texture, with a tight crumb structure while sponge cakes has a light and airy texture, with a fine and delicate crumb :)

Sure thing! Pound cake is typically denser and richer, with a buttery flavor, while sponge cake is lighter and airier, often made with whipped eggs for that fluffy texture. Both delicious, just depends on what you're craving! 🍰😋
