How long you let pound cake cool before removing from pan?

It's generally recommended to let a pound cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before removing it. This allows the cake to set and firm up slightly before being taken out of the pan, reducing the risk of it breaking or crumbling. After the initial 10-15 minutes in the pan, you can then transfer the pound cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
