About Cake, pound, commercially prepared, butter

Pound cake takes its name from the original recipe — a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour — and that ratio tells you everything about it. It is dense, moist and richly buttery, with a tight, fine crumb and no chemical leavening to lighten it, just the air beaten into the butter and eggs.

All that butter makes it one of the richer plain cakes: about 388 calories per 100 grams with roughly 20 grams of fat. It is sweet and heavy, so even a small slice is satisfying — which is just as well, since a thick wedge adds up quickly. It is an occasional treat in the truest sense.

Pound cake is usually served simply — plain, dusted with sugar, toasted, or topped with fruit and cream — because its buttery richness needs little embellishment. It also keeps well and is a sturdy base for trifles and other layered desserts.
