I had about 1/2 cup of leftover coconut cream in my fridge after making a yummy dessert. Was planning to finish it off soon and was searching to make some refreshing milkshake out of it.. I saw many recipes but one recipe,coconut tres leches milkshake caught my eye, I had all the ingredients for the milkshake, but the recipe suggested to serve the milkshake with few pieces of toasted pound cake. At first thought will skip that part, but was keen in knowing about and making of pound cake. So browsed for the recipe and found that it's all buttery yummy cake and decided to bake.

Notes:

Make sure that butter,eggs,milk is all at room temperature or else the egg might curdle.

Due to butter the cake might tend to brown quickly, so after 20 mins of baking grease a aluminium foil with butter and cover the bake and continue baking.

Dividing the egg mixture into 3 batch and beating for good 30 sec will help to have a good cake structure.

Powder the granulated sugar before use,this will reduce the mixing time.

If you don't have cake flour,substitute for cake flour,for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour remove

2 Tbsp of flour and add 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and swift for good 3 to 4 times.

Sprinkling chopped nuts on top of cake batter is purely optional.
