Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pound cake does not rely on foam formation for its structure. Instead, it is traditionally made with a pound each of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar, without the need for leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder. The structure of a pound cake comes from the creaming of butter and sugar, as well as the air incorporated during mixing, rather than the foam formation that is crucial for angel food, chiffon, and sponge cakes.
