why is it so good?

conversely, why is it so fattening and therefore evil?

serious question.

also, i want more.
 
Could have something to do with the 3 cups of sugar, 12 eggs and 2 sticks of butter.
 
Damn you to motherfuckinghell.

*goes to look for my grandmother's recipe*
 
it's a satisfying bread that holds together well... because of all those yummy eggs.
solid and filled with goodness. but only if you now go out and shovel out the barn.
 
My mother makes a hot, creamy lemon sauce to pour over the top. Not good for my hips.
 
a pound of butter
a pound of sugar
a pound of flour
a pound of eggs

i love lemon icing over mine. i've only made it a couple of times. it's pretty potent.
 
enough with the lemon. it is not needed. it is delicious enough on its own.

Good God! :eek:
People actually eat that?
No wonder there's an obesity epidemic! You'd have to excercise for weeks!
 
Add in nuts, sugared fruit, coconut, white chocolate, and it becomes a deadly amount of calories.
 
Yeah, I don't know what a pound cake is. Will Google.
 
Ok, i know what it is. Just didn't know it was called pound cake in english. It's pretty much an obese muffin that drips fat if yoy squeeze it.
 
no. it probably should drip fat, but it's soft and delicious. personally i think it's magic.
 
maybe. further study may be required.

Pound cake got its name from the main ingredient, a full pound (4 sticks) of butter.

Top a slab (not a slice, a slab) with fresh picked sliced strawberries and a light dusting of castor's sugar and a dollop or two of whipped cream and you've got a memory to last forever.
