- 1
Soften the butter in a microwave. Microwave at 500 W for about 15-20 seconds.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 160℃.
- 3
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric handheld mixer until it's pale. 1-2 minutes should be enough.
- 4
Add the eggs and continue mixing with the electric mixer. The butter and eggs may separate, but do not worry!
- 5
Sift in the flour and fold it in with a wooden spatula. If you are adding baking powder, add it at this point.
- 6
Pour the batter into the parchment paper-lined pound cake pan. Drop the pan on to the table to remove any trapped air. Make the center of the batter a little lower than the rest of it, and make sure to fill all 4 corners.
- 7
Bake it at 160℃ for about 40 minutes. If you make a slit in the middle of the batter with a knife when the surface begin to brown, the pound cake will split at the top beautifully!
- 8
Insert a wooden skewer and if it comes out clean, it is done! Drizzle in some rum into the crack if desired. Take it out of the pan and cool it off.
- 9
It tastes better the next day or later as the flavor permeates though the cake.

Variation - Sake lees pound cake: The flavor of the sake lees and the butter is a perfect match!

Variation - Raisin pound cake: After Step 5, add the same weight of rum-soaked raisins as the weight of the eggs.

Dark cherry chocolate pound cake: At Step 5, add some rum-soaked dark cherries and 20 g pure cocoa powder!
