ADoes anyone do this? I want to use a box mix and I know that pound cake is pretty firm, but is it a no-no to do pound cake in round pans, torte and fill?

AI'm not sure why that would be, but I do it fairly often

AI do it all the time but from scratch. I just use something light as the filling because it's a dense filling cake, but I get lots of requests for it, usually lemon pound with a lemon filling

Pound Cake in a layer cake is something that I've done also.  This is why I altered the pound cake recipe from my Betty Crocker Cookbook just slightly to lighten it up a touch.  Pound cake is so delicious.

AI always do pound cakes as layer cakes, especially weddings. Just be sure to use some sort of heating core to ensure it cooks evenly. I use rose nails to accomplish this and have never had an issue, even in 16" round pans

AGeorgia, yes- I also use flower nails, but only in my larger pans. Do u think I'd need them in 5" and 9"?

ANot the 5" and possibly not even the 9", I use one in my 8" pans, doesn't mean its necessary though, it just makes me feel better :)

AYeah I was debating on the 9", too, but since it's a 3" deep pan I may do it...
