Hello Friend,

The history of pound cake dates back to the 1700’s and was an English creation. The traditional pound cake started with a pound of butter, a pound of flour, a pound of sugar and a pound of cracked open eggs. Today many countries have their own version of a pound cake recipe. Today here in the United States we have many pound cake recipes made with a great variety of ingredients.
