March 4th is National Pound Cake Day. While this may not seem like a particularly momentous holiday it does give occasion for enjoying yet another martini - in this case, my Pound Cake Martini!
Why is it called Pound Cake?
No, it's not called pound cake because it pounds on the pounds! Traditionally pound cakes were made with a pound each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. This made quite a bit of pound cake so people probably cut the measurements, but having an equal parts recipe was most likely an easy way to remember and pass down the recipe during a time when most people could not read.
Dating back to the early 1700s, the pound cake is a British creation, though there are variations on the basic recipe from countries the world over. After rising agents were invented in the 1800s, recipes for pound cake changed in order to create lighter versions and to create unique flavors and tastes
BTW, my favorite pound cake recipe is a Sour Cream Pound Cake from Paula Deen. Try that with my Pound Cake Martini for a pound full of dessert flavor!
