How many slices should a pound cake be cut?

There's no definitive answer to how many slices to cut a pound cake into! It depends on a few factors:

* Size of the cake: A standard pound cake recipe typically yields a 9x13 inch loaf.

* Size of the slices: Do you want generous, thick slices, or smaller, dainty ones?

* Number of people you're serving: Are you feeding a large group or just a few people?

Here's a guideline:

* 12-16 slices: This is a good number for a standard pound cake, providing generous slices for a family or small gathering.

* 18-20 slices: This works for a slightly smaller cake or if you're serving a larger group.

* More than 20 slices: This would be for a very large cake or if you want very small slices.

Ultimately, the number of slices is up to you and your preferences. You can always cut the cake into fewer slices if you want larger portions.
