How much does it weigh?


In all seriousness, though....a pound cake does not weigh a pound. A pound cake was given its name because of the amounts of the ingredients used. It was originally made with flour, sugar, butter and eggs....and one pound of each! That is a lot of batter!

Today is my son's 3rd birthday. And we're having a traditional cake later today with the family, but as a part of breakfast (and snack) I made an almond pound cake this morning. Perhaps this will become birthday tradition?
