The utilization of local ingredients in Indonesia, such as mocaf flour and corn flour, remains suboptimal, highlighthing the need for innovation in food development. One potential product for development is pound cake, which is popular among the public. This study employs an experimental design with nine treatments, involving two independent variables (the proportions of mocaf and the addition pf parmesan cheese) and one dependent variable (sensory characteristics: color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall preference). Data were collected through observations using organoleptic tests conducted with 35 panelists, and data analysis was performed using (Two-Way ANOVA) followed bby Duncan’s post hoc test. The results indicate that the proportions of mocaf and corn flour with theaddition of parmesan cheese do not signifigantyl affect color characteristics, but they do have a significant impact on sensory characteristics regarding aroma, taste, texture, and overall preference. The best product formulation is A1K2 (80 mocaf flour, 20% corn flour, and 15% parmesan cheese), which yields a golden yellow color, balanced aroma, a harmonious sweet and savory taste, and a soft, moist, and dense texture. The nutritional content / 100 g of formulation A1K2 is 42,7% carbohidrates, 11,08% protein, and 4,86% fat.
