Everyone: Pound cakes are very rich.
Me: Yeah I bet they're a bit more than a regular cake, probably basically the same thing though.
Pound cake recipe:
This isn't a cake this is a giant cube of cookie
#i fucking love pound cake i will go FERAL for pound cake i dont think this recipe has enough butter
This cake is approximately 50% sugars and fats how much more butter do you want
Much more butter and a bit more sugar, actually. You know traditionally, pound cake meant every ingredient was added by a pound, so really there should be 250g of sugar and 250g of melted butter, and hopefully the eggs come out to 250g as well. I'm guessing the full 455g of each ingredient is probably more than you need.
Of course, since this makes such a dense batter, you pretty much have to bake it as a bundt, but that's your classic Pound Cake right there.
That's fucking bonkers. Who invented this thing.
Someone who was sick of having to remember measurements and went: "ah, fuck that. I'll just add a pound of each and it'll probably be fine"
