Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make pound cake according to recipe directions. This pan works best with pound cake mixes or recipes; however you can use regular cake mix by adding 2 packages of instant pudding mix, 8 eggs, 2 cups of water and 2/3 cup of vegetable oil to make it sturdier. Prepare your giant cupcake pan with Cake Release, using a pastry brush to make sure pan is covered completely.
