Homemade Pound Cake Recipe

It is called “pound cake” because the original recipe called for a pound of flour, a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, and a pound of eggs. Today, pound cake recipes have evolved, but the basic principles remain the same. A well-made pound cake is dense, moist, and buttery, with a tender crumb that melts in your mouth.
