Timeless and crowd-pleasing, this pound cake recipe is everything you want in a dessert: easy to make, rich in flavor, and elevated with whipped cream and juicy berries.

In this video, I test a wide range of boxed cake mix brands to see how they compare when baked under the same conditions.

Cooks of all caliber have used boxed pudding mix for decades to make their bakes taller, fluffier, and more moist. This "secret" ingredient makes even a novice baker look like a pro.
