Good afternoon.I am being held hostage by the extreme cold weather
This morning while Mike was out food shopping I made a pound cake
Remember in the earlier days how I love this
I got the recipe online
put this in a loaf pan and baked it.Our in one hour or less.
then cool on the rack.After cooling sliced the cake in half.
Smother with home raspberry jam.
Sprinkle confectioner sugar around it.
We will have this tonight.
Now why is this called a Pound Cake?

Tonight you would have it tonight???? Not if I were there it would be a figment of your imagination by now! Its called a pound cake because the tin you cook it in takes a pound of mixture and once baked it is delicious especially with Jam!

It looks lovely and I would have it with a nice cup of tea, I am also held hostage by the weather as it was so cold today I just stayed in. The real feel has been -6 and -7 here and all you can do with that is snuggle up under a blanket. I have no idea why it is called a Pound Cake but it might be to with the way it is made rather than money?
OOh yes I am right! Lookee here
I love pound cake, and ever since I've been old enough to eat it, I've wondered: where did it get that name? In my childhood I speculated if it weighed a

I think in the original recipe it used a pound of butter. Sounds yummy to me.

It looks good. I read somewhere that once upon a time a pound of ingredients went into making it.
