Why is it called a pound cake? Because a true pound cake contains a pound of each ingredient. Also, a true pound cake has no leavening. It’s all those eggs that make it rise. Pound cake is the foundation for many desserts including trifle, however it is perfectly delicious on its own. Try a slice with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream on top, or some sliced strawberries, hey, how about strawberries and ice cream. It’s delicious with a little liqueur drizzled over it too.
