  1. pound cake

    A pound cake is a type of cake traditionally made with a pound each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. This simple equal proportions recipe has been typically modified in current uses to enhance flavors, texture, or to reduce costs. It is typically baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold, resulting in a cake that is dense yet tender, with a rich, buttery taste. It can be flavored with add-ins like vanilla, citrus, chocolate, or nuts.

Wikidata

  1. Pound cake

    Pound cake refers to a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. The traditional recipe makes a cake much larger than most families can consume, and so the quantity is often changed to suit the size of the cake that is desired. As long as the ratio is preserved, the resulting cake will be identical to that using the traditional recipe. Hence, any cake made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar is also called a pound cake. Pound cakes are generally baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold, and served either dusted with powdered sugar, lightly glazed, or sometimes with a coat of icing.
