National Pound Cake Day 2023

    Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake
My mammy loves pound cake. I didn't realize this until just the other day when I brought her a large cake from the Chef's Store. She really did eat it up with her coffee. I was gratified to see that there are food items she will readily enjoy.

I think a couple of these every so often are in order simply because she enjoys them.

As for me, I like pound cake okay. I have always been a German chocolate or Boston creme pie kind of guy, however.

Today is National Pound Cake Day. It happens each year on March 4.

It celebrates our long history of pound cakes and encourages people to actually bake them.

Now I am not one to bake anything. I once fancied myself a cook of sorts but I'm afraid I like easy breakfast stuff most of all. The pound cake is a reference to a cake baked with a pound each of the four primary ingredients:

  butter
  eggs
  flour
  sugar

Whether you bake them, just eat them, or mostly just share them Pound Cake is a gastronomic delight for reasons which may not reach out and grab you.

Happy National Pound Cake Day to you !
