OLD-FASHIONED POUND CAKE
In the South, we love a good pound cake. This one is positively heavenly-sweet and rich but still, somehow, light as a cloud. Creaming the butter and sugar is the most important step when making a pound cake. Give it time to whip up light and fluffy, and scrape down the sides often when adding eggs. This pound cake is perfect served as-is, or you can dress it up with sweetened whipped cream and fresh berries.

ORIGINAL POUND CAKE FROM 1700'S ENGLAND
My mother made this recipe or some variation of it for over 60yrs. once a week. When I was in college my weekly "care package" always included this cake. In her letter she always included the same note:"be sure to share, I don't want you wearing these pounds home." I made a lot of friends from this treasure. Don't forget to have a "toasted pound" for breakfast. ummm! 1#butter, 1#flour, 1#sugar, reason for name. If recipe has mace in it, count on it coming from Low Country in S.C.

REAL OLD FASHION POUND CAKE
My Mother always had Pound Cake and Date Nut Cake in the house. She used so many different recipes using them. I wish now I had been smart enough as a kid to gather all of her recipes using Pound Cake or Date Nut Cake. Whoever said, kids were smart? Mom could whip up some amazing desserts at the last minute just with those...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350*. Bake 1 1/4 hours or until cake test done. Grease a bundt pan or two loaf pans.
- 2. There are two ways of making the dough.
- 3. Method 1; which I like best. Cream the butter and work in the flour until it looks like cornmeal or cat litter. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add the sugar and extract. Beat until thick and fluffy. Add the butter and flour mixture slowly to the egg yolk mixture. Continue beating till all is throughly incorporated. Beat the egg whites till stiff. Fold into the other mixture and beat by hand for about 15 minutes.
- 4. Method 2: Cream butter, sugar and extract untill fluffy. Beat the egg yolks until thick and add to the creamed butter. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the egg and butter mixture till well incorporated. Fold in the flour gradually and hand beat for 15 minutes or longer. Pour all into the greased bundt or loaf pans. Bake.
- 5. If this is the cake I have on hand I use it for my Rum Baba or my Lemon Trifle. Sometimes I will fry slices of the Pound cake and serve Banana Foster over it.
