The Pound Cake
Have you ever had pound cake?
It's a yummy, usually vanilla-flavored cake that can be very simply served or dressed up in drizzled chocolate, lucious berries, or a thick delicious sauce.
The name "pound cake" was originally a recipe of 1 pound of butter, 1 pound of sugar, 1 pound of eggs, and 1 pound of flour. A pound cake could serve many people because a family had many members back in the "old days"! Today's pound cake has smaller quantities of ingredients and may have some kind of leaven added to make it fluffy and light.
