poundcake
Dense butter cake
Poundcake is a dense, rich cake traditionally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour—hence the name.
The proportions yield a tight crumb and buttery flavor without requiring leavening agents.
Modern recipes often scale down the quantities while keeping the ratios: She baked a lemon poundcake for the office party.
