Terri — Actually, the oldest pound cake recipes have no milk or dairy in them. They use 1 pound (hence the name) of sugar, butter, flour and eggs and usually make four loaves. That’s what this is a derivative of.

Hi Deb – I’m an old southern cook and am used to the pound cake recipes using a cup of milk or buttermilk. Why doesn’t this use the liquids?

It turned out really well! Nice, fine crumb, and everyone really enjoyed it. This recipe is a keeper!

I just made this cake to accompany hot cross buns ice cream I made for Easter. I also had a bit of trouble folding in the egg whites into the egg/butter/flour mixture, which was as thick as cookie dough. Next time, I think I would beat 2 yolks + 2 whole eggs into the butter/sugar mixture, and reserve just 2 egg whites to whip up and fold in at the end. It also took 55 minutes to bake in a preheated oven. I had to turn down the temp to 325 in the last 15 minutes or so the top wouldn’t brown too much. Smells heavenly though. I hope it baked through okay!

Just made this pound cake, but left out cognac and drizzled juice of 1 1/2 lemons and 85g sugar – lemon drizzle cake! It was yummy, and everyone loved it! Thanks Deb!

Just tried this tonight with a couple small modifications. Had a bit of trouble getting it mixed together without deflating the egg whites too much but the results speak for themselves. Thanks!

Oh my nerds. Everyone in my household absolutely loves this and pretty much devours it right out of the oven. I’ve made one loaf everyday for the past three days! Thank you so much for sharing.

Just tasted the batter! Mmmm, good! Can’t wait till it comes out of the oven, though will keep a watchful eye on it as my gas oven seems to cook faster than any other oven I’ve had before. Hope it’s a success as it’s for my sister’s FareWell Celebration!
