pound cake
Dense yellow dessert
Pound cake is a rich, dense cake traditionally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour—hence the name.
The simple ratio produces a moist, tender crumb without leavening agents.
Modern recipes often scale down the proportions or add flavorings like vanilla or lemon: She served slices of pound cake with fresh strawberries.
