Cake – Accidentally beat sugar and butter together

cake

I was doing a pound cake and instead of gradually adding the sugar to the butter, I mixed both together. I continued with the recipe because I was too afraid of telling my mom. Will my cake come out good? Or it does not affect anything?

If you beat the butter and sugar to a fluffy consistency everything should be all right.

(As far as I know) The worst that could happen is that your pound cake will be slightly denser than usual.
