Can you leave a pound cake to cool overnight in the tube baking pan?

Yes, you can leave a pound cake to cool overnight in the tube baking pan, as this can help it maintain its shape. However, it's best to let it cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to prevent moisture buildup. If left in the pan for too long, the cake may become overly moist or develop a soggy bottom. For optimal results, consider removing it from the pan after a few hours to cool completely.
